Yes. The Constitution states the exact wording to be used in the oath but does not specify that it must be done by the Chief Justice. Anyone authorized by law to administer an oath within the jurisdiction in which the oath is taken may administer the oath to the President. When Lyndon Johnson was sworn in after the Kennedy assasination the oath was administered by a justice of the peace aboard Air Force One.
Chief Justice John Roberts gave the oath to President Barack Obama.

Officers who resigned their commissions, and were transferred to the Obligated Reserve Section (ORS) or the Non-affiliated Reserve Section (NARS), may not administer the oath. (Exception: Commissioned warrant officers in the grade of CW2, CW3 and CW4 may also administer the oath).
