Yes.

No? Create a new appointment, the fifth row in the appointment editor 
has a label termed "Cycle:" ;-)

Not sure whether it works, but it should.

Cycles in OGo are implemented as individual but still connected 
appointments (so you can still delete or change a whole cycle) - for 
various very good reasons which should not be discussed here ;-)

So if you create a cyclic appointment, you set the interval type (only 
a limited set is available, see web ui) and a cycle end date to 
terminate the sequence of appointments being created.

Since you probably ask because of iCalendar/SyncML, this is not too 
easy to come up with a useful strategy (and indeed ZideStore also lacks 
that right now!).
The GroupDAV list archive might contain some discussion on that.
