In theory, yes, but it could be considered tacky or pretentious. I would add that people who are given an honorary degree are being honored for some accomplishment which would usually be considered to be more significant than the degree anyway; these people do not need to boast of their honorary degrees.

If you choose to use it, you should use Hon.D. after your name.
