Yes, you can use it if it is a Debian package.
First, install the dsl-dpkg extension, or choose "Enable Apt", or choose "Get Synaptic" from the menu.
You will also probably need the gnu-utils.dsl extension. You don't need the gnu-utils extension if you performed an enhanced hd install.
Then make sure that your /etc/apt/sources.list file is pointing towards the appropriate Debian repository (stable,testing,unstable, or some unofficial source)
Then open up an xterminal and type:
sudo su apt-get update apt-get install name-of-package exit
Otherwise, if you can download the deb file itself, you can install it with:
sudo su dpkg -i filename.deb exit
Good Luck.
