Yes, it's possible.  It's not guaranteed to work with all drivers: some 
drivers won't support the 1518-byte packets required to accommodate the VLAN 
header.  (This restriction may also apply to some underlying PXE stacks, if 
you're using undionly.kpxe rather than a native iPXE driver.)

You need to ensure that your network will allow VLAN traffic.  Many switches 
will require you to explicitly enable the port as a VLAN trunk port, and may 
also require you to specify which VLANs will be permitted on each port.

Which iPXE driver are you using?
