Yes. This is described in the excellent book "Developing applications with 
objective Caml" in the "Functional core of Objective CAML" chapter, on page 
25 under the heading "Declaration of infix functions". This book is freely 
available in electronic form here:

Basically, use only symbols in infix function names and define the function 
using the syntax:

# let ( ++ ) c1 c2 = (fst c1)+(fst c2), (snd c1)+(snd c2);;
val ( ++ ) : int * int -> int * int -> int * int = <fun>
# (2, 3) ++ (3, 4);;
- : int * int = (5, 7)

Cheers,
Jon.
