Yes, just tried and it works (python-2.4/PIL 1.1.5), but you also need a
font that supports your characters, see this script:

text = unicode('some cyrillic text: здраво', 'utf-8')
from PIL import ImageFont, ImageDraw, Image
image = Image.new('RGB',(400,300))
draw = ImageDraw.Draw(image)
font = ImageFont.truetype(".fonts/dejavu-ttf/DejaVuSans.ttf", 12)
draw.text((10, 10), text, font=font)
image.save('wow.jpg')
