Yes assuming your external is recognized as bootable. You can also make a copy of the DVD on a USB thumb drive using tools from Microsoft.

''The solution, I discovered after months of posting across various Mac forums, is to use rEFIt (http://refit.sourceforge.net/). Install rEFIt, then be sure to restart your MacBook Pro TWICE (via the Mac OS X restart function). On the second restart the eEFIt menu will appear and, provided your external USB optical drive is connected with the Windows bootable install disc, you can now choose to boot from the Windows install disc and install to the Boot Camp partition you should have already created.''
