Yes.  Have you followed step 4. "Final System Setup" in the INSTALL file?
It details the creation of apache directives for the archives and cg
scripts.  I have this in my apache config:

#
#  httpd configuration settings for use with mailman.
#

ScriptAlias /mailman/ /var/mailman/cgi-bin/
Alias /pipermail/ /var/mailman/archives/public/
<Directory /var/mailman/archives>
	Options +FollowSymlinks
</Directory>

Just adjust the paths as appropriate for your mailman install and -HUP or
restart apache.

You definitely want to go through the INSTALL file and any appropriate
README files to make sure you've got things setup properly, otherwise you'll
just go from one stumbling block to the next, which is no fun. :)

HTH,
