Yep, but just a password in Gnucash would not add much value.

Assuming a good desktop and screen saver password it is possible to 
encrypt the directory where the accounts are stored using other tools.

e.g: Maybe http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EncFS or
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308989

Please make sure the directory is decrypted before starting GnuCash ... 
and dont loose the decryption keys.
