Yes.

This is what I have to auto=mark spam when it is moved too the Spam folder and to mark messages as seen when they are archived:

plugin {
  sieve_plugins = sieve_imapsieve sieve_extprograms
  #sieve_global = /usr/lib/dovecot/sieve/global/
  sieve_default = /usr/lib/dovecot/sieve/default.sieve
  sieve_default_name = spamassassin

  sieve_duplicate_default_period = 1h
  sieve_duplicate_max_period = 12d

  # From elsewhere to Spam folder
  imapsieve_mailbox1_name = Junk
  imapsieve_mailbox1_causes = COPY
  imapsieve_mailbox1_before = file:/usr/lib/dovecot/sieve/report-spam.sieve

  # From Spam folder to elsewhere
  imapsieve_mailbox2_name = *
  imapsieve_mailbox2_from = Junk
  imapsieve_mailbox2_causes = COPY
  imapsieve_mailbox2_before = file:/usr/lib/dovecot/sieve/report-ham.sieve

  sieve_pipe_bin_dir = /usr/lib/dovecot/sieve

  sieve_global_extensions = +vnd.dovecot.pipe +vnd.dovecot.environment
  sieve_extensions = +editheader

  sieve = file:~/.sieve;active=~/.active_sieve
  sieve_user_log = ~/sieve.log

  imapsieve_mailbox3_name = Archive
  imapsieve_mailbox3_causes = COPY
  imapsieve_mailbox3_before = file:/usr/lib/dovecot/sieve/mark-read.sieve

}

# cat /usr/lib/dovecot/sieve/report-spam.sieve                                  [11:51] [/etc/dovecot]
require ["vnd.dovecot.pipe", "copy", "imapsieve", "environment", "variables"];

if environment :matches "imap.user" "*" {
  set "username" "${1}";
}

pipe :copy "sa-learn-spam.sh" [ "${username}" ];

"sa-learn-spam.sh" is the name of the script:

# cat /usr/lib/dovecot/sieve/sa-learn-spam.sh
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/bin/sa-learn -u ${1} --spam

# cat /usr/lib/dovecot/sieve/mark-read.sieve
require ["imap4flags"];
setflag "\\seen";
