Sure, but the general OpenGL performance on the RPI is poor.

You don't have to hack cogl or clutter as such, you just have to call
bcm_host_init() in your application before you initialize cogl, and
configure cogl to use gles2, the pvr null platform and the evdev input
backend. You also need to configure the RPI at boot time with a generous
amount of video memory.
