Yes, a cracked head or blown head gasket will allow coolant to enter the combustion chamber and oil supply. Coolant is a very poor lubricant and when mixed with oil will destroy an engine very quickly.

What is the difference between a cracked block and a blown head gasket?
A cracked block means that the engine itself is cracked. A blown head-gasket means that the gasket between the engine and the head has blown. Either can be caused by overheating the engine. When an engine overheats the head can warp causing the head-gasket to give out. In some engines the heat cracks the block. If the block is cracked, it's over. If the head-gasket is blown you can always machine the head surface and put it all back together.

1999 silverado overheating coolant in oil is this most likely blown head gasket or cracked head?
Neither 1, It is a common problem with that engine for the intake gasket to leak engine coolant into the engine lifter gallery / into engine oil. Replace intake manifold gasket and change oil and FILTER a couple of times. A head gasket or cracked head will not allow engine coolant to get into the oil. If you got or over HEATED the engine like real hot then you may have blown are cracked a head but I doute it. Not common, Replace intake gasket and you'll see that the engine will be okay more then likely.
