Not currently. Right now the only safe way to use Tor as a client is with the Tor Browser Bundle. See https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser/design/ for the variety of issues that it addresses. Running a separate Tor is possible in theory, but we assume you'll get it wrong so we discourage it. Note that on Linux and OS X, the Tor in TBB picks a random port, so it should be compatible with (or at least not conflict with) a system Tor. But see https://blog.torproject.org/blog/new-bundles-security-release which says "The random port selection has been temporarily disabled in the Linux and Mac OS X alpha bundles. Most of you probably didn't notice any random port selection happpening at all, but if you encounter a problem running a system Tor and your Tor Browser Bundle at the same time, you can switch to the stable bundles for now. The next update should have a fix that allows us to re-enable automatic port selection."
