Yes. See:

In this case the static IP is 192.168.7.102 for both eth0 and wlan0.
Notice that when I connect to wired from wireless the static IP address
gets assigned to eth0. When I pull the wired, the wireless is started
automatically & eth0 drops it's IP address.

Everything is standard network-manager configuration - 1 wired - 1 wireless.
