no because you need CO2

and you don't have that on mars

but you do have sunlight which is also needed

EDIT: Thursday September 27, 2012

Mars consists of 95.23% carbon dioxide (CO2).

The only limiting factors is UV protection like Earth's ozone layer and liquid water.

The answer is still NO, Not naturally. photosynthesis "may be" possible with man made habitats designed to protect from UV radiation.

Mars has an abundance of CO2!
