Yes.  As of vanilla nginx, the following balancing algorithms are 
available:

- round-robin (default)
- least conn, see http://nginx.org/r/least_conn
- ip hash, see http://nginx.org/r/ip_hash

It is also possible to use 3rd party balancing modules (there are 
number of them available, see http://wiki.nginx.org/3rdPartyModules).
And obviously you may write your own.
