Yes, goalkeepers are able to score. They are the only players allowed to score with a throw (think Petr Cech and his monstrous throws into the opponent's half).

They can also score in regular play. They might make a clearance kick from their own penalty area and score directly; they might come forward to take a penalty; they might move u out of their own half to provide an extra player at a corner kick, especially when the game is near finished and they need the goal.

Many keepers have notched up incredible scoring totals; Rogerio Ceni of Brazil scored 89 goals (including 36 penalties), for example.
