Absolutely. Sony's BBeB format does it very nicely, for example.

In the Mobi books I create myself, where fixed pitch is necessary for something, I work around the problem by displaying the fixed pitch item as an illustration (I format it in "Notepad", then save the image as a GIF file). A bit of a kludge, but it works well enough for small bits of text. Not something you'd want to do for a code listing pages long, however .
