Using a ManageHook, indeed yes. This will work only when the window is 
spawned, of course, since that's the only time ManageHooks are called.

XMonad.Hooks.ManageHelpers contains a function called doRectFloat. It 
works like the core doFloat ManageHook, but you specify an 
XMonad.StackSet.RationalRect to give its position and size as a fraction 
of the screen size.

For an example, see XMonad.Util.Scratchpad, the module for which I wrote 
doRectFloat.
