Chris,  

It could provided that electrons were emitted in some fashion from one
of
the electrodes. (thermionic, high field emission, photoelectric, etc.) 
When
this does happen, it always occurs at the negative electrode.  The anode
or
(+) electrode material is important to the emission as well as the
actual
voltage across the tube.
