By default, no. From the documentation:
+---------------------------------------------------------------+
| Please note that headers and footers are mutually exclusive. |
| If headers are on, footers (but NOT bottom-of-page numbering) |
| are automatically turned off. Equally, if footers are on, |
| headers (but NOT top-of-page numbering) are automatically |
| turned off. |

There is a way around this, using groff's .am request, but
there's a catch: you must define HEADER_LEFT/CENTER/RIGHT and
FOOTER_LEFT/CENTER/RIGHT plus any style changes you want for the
various parts of headers and footers in the places marked inside the
.am requests in the recipe below.

---End recipe for getting both headers and footers---
I'm interested to know how you intend to use the combo of headers
and footers. If your situation is a common one, I may macro-ize the
above to save other users the trouble.
