  Yes.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_expansion_of_space

"While special relativity constrains objects in the universe from
moving faster than the speed of light with respect to each other,
there is no such theoretical constraint when space itself is
expanding. It is thus possible for two very distant objects to be
moving away from each other at a speed greater than the speed of light
(meaning that one cannot be observed from the other). The size of the
observable universe could thus be smaller than the entire universe."

  I don't understand this comment.
