Short answer: Yes
Option 1: Server side
You get the items into Sharepoint by:
http://tfsintegration.codeplex.com/
Option 2: Client side only (no server)
So the best option in this regard is to use a tool that makes it look like your work items are inside Outlook and give you the same facilities as tasks. Remember Work Items have a lot more fields and statuses than Tasks so you can’t do a direct link without loosing information.
I would recommend using Team Companion which I think is your best solution.
