Yes, with a sexp diary entry

** a task
   SCHEDULED: <%%(diary-float [some-function])>

To find how [some-function] could be written,
you can be inspired by the one in Emacs manual:

38.15.9 Sexp Entries and the Fancy Diary Display

 Suppose you get paid on the 21st of the month if it is a weekday, and
on the Friday before if the 21st is on a weekend.  Here is how to write
a sexp diary entry that matches those dates:

     &%%(let ((dayname (calendar-day-of-week date))
              (day (cadr date)))
           (or (and (= day 21) (memq dayname '(1 2 3 4 5)))
               (and (memq day '(19 20)) (= dayname 5)))
              ) Pay check deposited
