Yes, you can. You can also install MSMQ, and I can confirm that it works perfectly.
First you need to create an EBS volume, using a snapshot of the appropriate Windows installation media:

Then simply attach the EBS volume to your Windows instance. At this stage, you would be able to install any Windows service, such as MSMQ and IIS, that did not come pre-installed with the original AMI.
