The Navy (which operates 17 out of the 22 -700Cs built) seems to think they can be configured as combis:

The C-40A is certified to operate in three configurations: an all-passenger configuration that can carry 121 passengers, an all-cargo configuration of eight cargo pallets, or a combination of three cargo pallets and 70 passengers.
