Yes, that's pretty much exactly how TrueCrypt works.

TrueCrypt's bootloader will be the first thing you see when you turn on your computer, before Windows even starts. One password takes you to your normal Windows partition, the other takes you to your duress partition, which of course contains nothing you care about. To the person who has compelled you to give them your password, it's impossible to tell that they're looking at your duress partition.
