Of course they can, they have 5 hardpoints in the internal bomb bay and 6 wing hardpoints. The orions they have and are retiring before the end of the year have MK46's torpedos, maveric's and harpoons for the P-3 so assume the a P-8 will be getting them
(edit apparently NZ uses penguins and not harpoons)
