An iPod can only be owned by one computer. If you plug the iPod into
your computer it will ask to take it over. As a result it will erase
everything already on the iPod so you can add music to it.

If you are willing to live with that limitation then the answer is yes.
If you want to share music from two computers onto an iPod then the
answer is no (at least not legitimately; meaning that there may be a
third party work around that I am unaware of.)

With some networking and folder diving you can move music from one
iTunes to another. If any of the music is purchased, then you have to
authorize both machines. (you are allowed 5 authorized machines.)
