Yes. If the applet is droppable (set the "apple-event aware" bit in the finder 
flags, I think this is on by default but I'm not 100% sure) and you add the 
types for the files which you want to drop to the bundle resource. The file 
names show up in sys.argv.

EditPythonPrefs is an example of this (since 1.3.3): you drop applets (or 
python interpreters) on it to set applet-specific preferences.
