Yes, I do this all the time.  The following example has more
directives than strictly necesssary in it, but will show you
everything involved:

    <Directory /afs/lsa.umich.edu/public/www/lsait-unix/testing/cosign>
      Options Indexes FollowSymLinks IncludesNoExec
      AllowOverride AuthConfig FileInfo Indexes Limit
      Order allow,deny
      Allow from all
      CosignProtected On
      AuthType Cosign
      SSLRequireSSL
      require valid-user
    </Directory>

If you wanted to boil this down to the bare minimum and put
it in a .htaccess file for a directory, the following will
probably do the job:

    CosignProtected On
    SSLRequireSSL
    require valid-user

You can of course change the "require" to anything you want
such as "require user bbridson" or "require group staff" (this
has nothing to do with cosign, though).
