Difficult question. Strictly speaking, the answer is yes. In Hinduism, gods were called devas. In Buddhism, these devas appear in the Tipitika, but they are not very important and they are not immortal.

Some might think that this is similar to Christians who do not consider themselves polytheists even though they worship a three part god, have angels (of several types), a devil, as well as saints who have supernatural powers, but this is debatable.
