Yes, but you should use the IMG_RESOURCE cObject [1]. Notice that in
TYPO3 4.1.x, you have access to the properties of the image as well:

"The array $GLOBALS["TSFE"]->lastImgResourceInfo is set with the
info-array of the resulting image resource (if any) and contains
width, height and so on."

If you're interested in the use of GIFBUILDER objects in CSS, you
might like to check out my extension bh_firtools [2]  (though I should
note that it does not use TS as described above to get the
IMG_RESOURCE properties, as it was written before these were
available...the update is on the to-do list...)
