Yes it can. I developed it. I never had it as a kid but after 20 years of listening to music, and 10 years of being a musician I noticed a was remembering music in the right key. I'd test it. e.g. A song I hadn't listened to for a good while would pop into my head. I'd stick the CD on and sure enough, exactly in key. So yes it can. Some could argue I was born with it and didn't notice before, but I'd tried to develop it before with no success; it just crept up on me with experience.

Also it's been noted in the past that people who speak tonal languages, such as Chinese, have a larger occurence of perfect pitch in their population.
