Yes. The template system in 1.3 allows any page to be "transcluded" as though it were a template. 
Just use {{page_name}} - but note that to get something from the main namespace (i.e. just 
[[Page_name]] not [[Project_name:Page_name]] or whatever) you have to use {{:page_name}}, otherwise 
it will assume you're referring to [[Template:Page_name]] not [[Page_name]].

Hope that makes sense.
