Yes, thats possible.
just use the
<?php wp_insert_post( $post ); ?>
function described here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_insert_post
All you need to do is to build a form anywere in your front-end that the user can access and then upon submitting build the new post out of the data the user submitted…

a simple way is to use the comment form to do that.
http://justtweetit.com/ is an example.

Cant wait for Wordpress 3 with the custom post types!
For now I think i am going to do a form and let it create the post – until wordpress 3 comes out.

If advanced coding (what Kriesi suggested) sounds hard for you, then you could also use TDO Miniforms for this

its very simple. Same as what Kriesi said. just make a simple form that will feed into the array. here is a very basic example with a simple form that has no validation.
Edit: I dont know why does it add the SYSTEM word into my doctype. 
<?php $postTitle = $_POST['post_title'];
$post = $_POST['post'];
$submit = $_POST['submit'];
if(isset($submit)){
global $user_ID;
$new_post = array(
'post_title' ?> $postTitle,
'post_content' => $post,
'post_status' => 'publish',
'post_date' => date('Y-m-d H:i:s'),
'post_author' => $user_ID,
'post_type' => 'post',
'post_category' => array(0)
);
wp_insert_post($new_post);
}
?>
<!DOCTYPE HTML SYSTEM>

</form>

Hello,
how needs the upper code to be modified in order to put more than one field into “post_content”. With some sort of array I think, but I don’t know how to do that. Can someone help me please, thanks
