Yes, but the full answer depends on your DOCTYPE and your browser. Here's an interesting StackOverflow article: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11274904/fallback-for-css-attributes-without-unit. In general, px is the usual fallback in quirks mode in most browsers, and 10px and 10%, for example, could be very different!
