Yes, by starting fluidsynth in server mode ("-s", plus whatever options you're 
using for driver, device, soundfont etc.) you can send strings like "noteon 0 
64 100 \n" and so on to port 9800 to produce sounds from your soundfont. Type 
'help' in an interactive fluidsynth terminal session ("fluidsynth -s" will do) 
to see the available commands.
