yes, but the client you're using may not implement it.

in general, what you're looking for is a button/menu-item that says "browse".
when you select this, on my client, i get a window asking for a server name. if
i enter "conference.ietf.jabber.com", then i get a list of the conference rooms
there. i can then double-click on a room to join, etc...

if your client doesn't implement browsing, you can just do a join by clicking on
"join group chat..." and entering:

	server: conference.ietf.jabber.com
	room:   <<use the secretariat acronym, e.g., "dccp">>
	nickname: 

and away you go.
