Yes, both with SOCKS4a and SOCKS5.  (Polipo doesn't implement plain SOCKS4.)

Note however that nothing prevents your web browser from performing its
own DNS requests (for example from Javascript, Java or Flash code), and
there's nothing Polipo can do to prevent that.  Firewalling is the only
reliable solution.
