YES!
Remember though it's the FQDN (Full Qualified Domain Name) that is
important, you may not want your secure site to be named ns1.somedomain.com

The cert has nothing to do with IP addresses. The cert is for the FQDN.
Although, there is the restriction that only one cert can be on an IP address,
and that is a system restriction (might be SSL restriction), not a cert
restriction.

You can put it anyplace you want, only one cert (SSL) per IP address though.
One of my servers has a cert on the server site, which just happens to be a
nameserver,
the host name is not "ns" though.
