Not sure what vehicle you are talking about, but either way, the answer is yes.  Trackicks are harder to do than samurais, but it can be done.
Oh, and I would never use a gasket on an oil pan.  RTV/silicone is the only way to go, IMO.

X2, use the gray silicone, it's designed for oil immersion applications

I prefer gaskets with some silicone on both sides, always have.
