Depends. Are there any filetypes involved not on this list?

.htm, .html, .shtml, .gif, .jpg, .png, .txt, .swf, .mid, .rmi, .au, .wav, .js, .css, .ico, .bmp, .class, .dcr

If so, the answer is no.

Re: WordPress Blog

Really? Well, the WordPress.org website says that the minimum requirements are
PHP version 4.3 or greater
MySQL version 4.0 or greater

If you check the hosting matrix, you will see that "Support for common php packages like phpBB, phpNuke and many more" is provided only with Premium (not free) hosting. (Yes, WordPress is one of the "many more" mentioned)
