Yes!

You can add various types of 'text' to notes in the notation editor. 
This is done via the button with a 'T' - See this screenshot: 
https://ctrl.vi/i/66wZ6qE7T

This is also activated via menus: Tools > Text or via a keyboard 
shortcut (F8 by default).

In your scenario you can just select Chord (which in turn selects a 
certain font and style, i.e. small bold roman font) and enter the Roman 
numeral. A useful feature is that this text can be copy pasted.

This screenshot shows an example of a simple end result with notation:

Text entry is documented here in more detail:

There is also a specific guitar chord entry mode which is documented 
here: https://www.rosegardenmusic.com/doc/en/nv-guitarchords.html

Hope this helps,

Lorenzo
