Yes.

Computer config file:
IS_COOL_COMPUTER = TRUE
STARTD_EXPRS = IS_COOL_COMPUTER

Job:
Requirements = (IS_COOL_COMPUTER == TRUE)

See Section 3.3.4 of the Condor manual, the stuff on "SUBSYS_EXPRS"

http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/manual/v6.6/3_3Configuration.html#SECTION00434000000000000000

Also see the pamphlet "Using Condor Effectively", in the section titled 
"Enhancing Condor's Matchmaking". This was distributed at Condor Week and 
is available from:

In my opinion, you shouldn't assume the binary is already there. It works 
great for testing, but poorly in practice. What if the binary is installed 
incorrectly, or is the wrong version?

That said, use "tranfer_executable = False".
