Yes. And you should.
Do ensure that the vent pipe is of adequate diameter (generally 3"-4" for a combined-fixture gable vent), turns upward to travel adequately above the roofline (generally 18" is accepted) and that the pipe itself is both adequately secured to withstand physical forces acting upon it and protected from potential ultraviolet degradation. In areas with freezing temperatures, significant rains, or snowfall, other measures might be taken to ensure that condensation and water do not restrict the airway, such as ensuring a neutral or slightly positive slope of the horizontal runs.

The alternative to a plumbing roof vent is an AAV. This is an Air Admittance Valve, a simple spring loaded ABS fitting that serves exactly the same function as a roof vent, except that it does not penetrate the roofing.
