I don't see why not, you can download the kindle files directly from "Your Media Library" on amazon. This is what people in the US who do not have whispernet coverage have to do. You may even be able to register the kindle with your own amazon account and purchase items yourself. They're not selling kindles to people with mailing addresses outside the US, but there may not be any restrictions on registering one. Your friend should buy it as a "gift" purchase and then it won't be pre-registered to her own account (but even if it is, you can still change it).
