You betcha.

Add to the 'origin' entry in the config file specific to your local repository:

fetch = +refs/notes/*:refs/notes/* push = *refs/notes/*:refs/notes/*

Just be aware that other developers will remain blissfully unaware of your notes unless they either expressly fetch notes for themselves, or replicate your config setup as regards notes.

Good luck!
