Yes...

Create a spline that follows the path of a standard knot. Create 3 circles and attach all of them. Add an Extrude modifier, a Twist modifier and Meshsmooth modifier. Collapse to Editable Poly.

Select your rope and add a PathDeform modifier to it. Select Move to Path and click on the spline that you created earlier.

Knot Easy? Not so much...
