Under the current definition of a planet, yes it can! If a gas giant were to share its orbit with other objects of significant mass (other than moons, comets or asteroids), it would definitely qualify as a dwarf planet. In order to be a planet, it would have to "clear the neighborhood" until it was the dominate influence in its orbit.
