Assuming you are connecting to a component or HDMI (or DVI with  
adaptor) display, yes. The only remote the hardware will recognize is  
the Apple remote. It has very few buttons on its own, but you can get  
the codes for several apple remotes and tell your ATV to recognize  
them all. Map them to different functions in lirc and use a learning  
remote to learn the AppleTV remote codes. Sort of annoying, but it  
works.

There's some info about it here: http://code.google.com/p/atv-bootloader/wiki/UpdateIRDriver 
  and google knows about more details. :)
