Yes, raked pine needles can be added to a compost pile.
Specifically, the tree in question (Pinusspp) drops its needles over the course of three to four years. The needles provide a natural source of nutrient for the ground around and beneath the particular pine. They represent an attractive, effective mulch which controls nutrient deficiency, temperature extremes, and weedy growth. They also serve as a healthy compost which directly contributes to improved soil structure and texture without acidifying the ground pH (something which will happen with pine needles as mulch).
