Yes. No one is required to be able to read and write in the United States. And a notary is only stamping that he/she knows the person to be who they claim.
Bear in mind, the name of the person will have to be printed out near that "x".
It will also have to state "his mark" beside the x on many documents, such as when cashing a check. The same applies to other legally binding documents, as well. However, in many cases, a witness will have to sign it also, verifying that it is indeed the "mark" of that person, particularly when there is no notary involved.
