Not with every implementation. You can do this easily with kramdown:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* for
* bar
* 
        Code 1 (8 spaces)
        Code 2
        Code 3
* Another list item
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

will produce

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
<ul>
  <li>for</li>
  <li>bar</li>
  <li>
    <pre><code>Code 1
Code 2
Code 3
</code></pre>
  </li>
  <li>Another list item</li>
</ul>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The line with the `* ` (after `* bar`) is needed to tell kramdown that
this is a list item and not just an asterisk.
