Yes.  Any Turing complete language, of which D is an example, can be used to 
implement an algorithm to do this.

std.string.toString(long value, uint radix) converts a number to any base 
between 2 and 36.  There doesn't seem to be a function in Phobos to convert 
_from_ an arbitrary base - don't ask me why.  But it shouldn't be difficult 
to write a function to do this.
