Yes you can either with the draw2DImage() function sets or by using billboards, or even 3d models! Often in a game a 'pseudo gui' is much more appropriate as you might want big bouncing jellybean like animated buttons or an interface built out of animated creatures or something.

Using a game GUI should really be a part of the game and be fun to use. If i'm playing a game I want my OK button to have eyes and a nose and to squeak when I click on it.

You can also do it the other way round - give the button an image. Using setDrawBorder(false) and setImage(yourImage) you will have a clickable image with full button functionality.
