Yes, squirrels (Scicuridae) eat pumpkin seeds.

Specifically, squirrels favor nuts and seeds. They particularly like black walnuts (Juglans nigra) and hickory nuts (Carya spp). But they also relish eating acorns (Quercus spp) and vegetable seeds.

Squirrels appear to be quite happy to eat pumpkins. See the related link for video evidence (apparently) of a squirrel drunk on fermented pumpkins.
