Yes, you can. You'll have to specify the virtual path you'll host it on the server though:
aspnet_compiler -v /deploymentVirtualPath -p D:\InputWebSite D:\CompiledWebsite
This will compile the Web site in "D:\InputWebsite" to "D:\CompiledWebsite" and expects it to get deployed in "/deploymentVirtualPath" virtual path on the production server. If you need to deploy it in the Website root, just specify "/" as the virtual path.
