Yes, if it were a lot denser than the moon is.	The moon's diameter is
0.27 of Earth, mass is .012E.
That means the moon's gravity is
g=M/r^2 = .012/.27^2 = .1646 of Earth.
The moon's density is .61E; Earth is the most dense of the planets.
Double the moon's density to 1.22E
and you get .33gee.  Make it six times as dense as Earth and you get
.99gee at the surface.	If you took an Earthlike planet and knocked
most of the lighter layers off the top, that would be about right,
more or less, approximately.   I think the atmospheric density would
drop off a lot faster than it would on Earth, though--you'd have have
mountain peaks in semi-vacuum.
