Yes, a puppy can survive being born feet first as long as there are not other complications involved such as the umbilical cord being wrapped around the neck or the puppy becoming lodged in the birth canal.
This is called a "breech birth" and in many animals is a very serious emergency. It is potentially problematic in dogs as well but not as much of an emergency as it is in humans and in large farm animals, for example.
If your dog seems to be having undue trouble giving birth at any point during the birthing process, a veterinarian should be contacted immediately though, regardless of whether the puppies are presenting head or tail first.
