Yes, otherwise the game would never end! :) For that matter, a normal piece may also jump a king given that the king is further from the piece's starting side of the board - just the same as jumping other ordinary pieces. The only difference between a "man" (ordinary piece) and a king is that the king can move to any black square rather than only those "in front of" it.
