No you can’t install apps from the store in the emulator, because you can’t add a Microsoft account in the emulator which is required for installing apps from the store.
This is apparantly because the emulator is not seen as a trusted platform for Microsoft id. Here is an official answer from Microsoft to the same question: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/wptools/thread/dfd9ba6f-1d18-486e-aa53-7d0a65d44f12
Update for Windows Phone 8.1
As Mathias Lykkegaard Lorenzen mentions in the comments, it is now possible to add a Microsoft account in the WP8.1 emulator, but still not possible to install apps (shows error message with code 80070002)
