In theory yes, but the Atari Monitor uses seperate horizontal and vertical
sync input, while the Amiga outputs a combined sync signal.  There are
seperate sync outputs on the RGB connector, but they are for the Genlock
peripheral and are not designed to drive a monitor directly.

If you do not make an adapter with circuitry to buffer the signals, you may
find that your Amiga will not boot...
