With an experienced pilot, in that particular aircraft, yes. Under normal conditions, all engines, you use power setting, such as fuel flow for one, to maintain target airspeeds and sink rates for any given aircraft configurations.

As for flap and gear extension speeds, you can use audio clues for those.

Now you'll not be spot on any given airspeed, but close enough to make a safe landing.
