	It seems so; cf.:

(with-temp-buffer
  (kill-buffer " *nntpd*")
  (setq nntp-open-connection-function 'nntp-open-plain-stream)
  (nntp-open-server "news.gmane.org"
                    '((nntp-port-number 119))))
#<process nntpd>

(with-temp-buffer
  (kill-buffer " *nntpd*")
  (setq nntp-open-connection-function 'nntp-open-network-stream)
  (nntp-open-server "news.gmane.org"
                    '((nntp-port-number 119))))
nil
