Generally not. I replaced the dimmers in the downstairs office with 
toggle switches that matched the design to avoid this.

Dimmable CFLs do exist, but I have no experience with them and cannot 
comment on them.

What I CAN comment on is the interesting flicking light, smell of burned 
insulation, and overall This Isn't Good feeling that comes from dimming 
non-dimmable CFLs. In short: Don't do it. They get permanently damaged.
