Yes. You can choose to download the "portable" Tor Browser Bundle. Or
you can even install the Vidalia bundle, and all it will do is add the
Torbutton extension to your Firefox. The rest will stay untouched, and
you can remove it any time.

Each application you want to use with Tor needs to be configured to use
it. Many applications can use Tor as a SOCKS proxy properly, but many
others can not. If you want to use Tor just for websites, all you have
to do is install the Vidalia bundle (and enable Torbutton in Firefox).
It is probably good to set up a separate Firefox profile for Tor.
