Yes. For example a C major triad can be played with an open C, open G, E on the D string, and if you want to, C on the A string. C2-G2-E3-C4 Usually to make a chord on any stringed instrument with intervals of fifths between the open strings (cello, viola, and violin), you need to make the third (and seventh if it's a seventh chord) one octave higher. By the way, you can also arpeggiate the chords.
