Yes, they can.  See the OpenVMS FAQ (at http://www.openvms.digital.com/ )
for part number details and wiring schematics.

You can buy these from any major electronics part distributor, i.e.
www.digikey.com, www.mouser.com, etc.

You'll find that you need a MMJ crimper to attach the connector, though,
and that won't be cheap, as the crimper is about 100 times as expensive
as a single connector.

I sell individual MMJ to DB25 and MMJ to DE9 cables at (what I believe to
be) reasonably low prices.  See http://www.trailing-edge.com/www/mmj.html
for on-line ordering details.
