Yes, however, you MUST name it "Fred" and have it neutered. Also, you are encouraged to paint a white stripe down its back , so people think it's only a skunk.
Just kidding. No, it's not only not legal, it's not smart. Racoons are wild animals, they often carry rabies, and will bite the hell out of you. Get a rabbit instead.

I have been told by my veterinarian that it is illegal to have a pet raccoon in PA. I also live in PA and have a baby raccoon that comes around every night to eat. If it is discovered that you have one, the DEC will come, take the animal and kill it to test for rabies. I think this is a stupid law as it is legal to have a pet skunk in PA but not a pet raccoon.
