That depends on what we mean by a tomboy. If we are talking about a masculine looking woman who acts like a man then absolutely not.
If we mean a woman who is more down to earth or girl next door type who does not wear dresses and little makeup but STILL looks like a woman. This type of woman may also relate better to men and even share more interest with them like sports, cars, hunting and fishing etc. If this is what we mean by tomboy then I would say yes since I have been married to a woman like this for 26 years.
What tomboy meant 30 years ago vs what it might mean today are two very different things.

Glad to hear this. Also, thanks for making it clear what I mean by tomboy--a low-maintenance woman who hates makeup and hangs out around with the guys doing guy's stuff but still looks like a woman.
Just because I'm a guy who likes tomboys doesn't make me secretly gay or bisexual.
I like tomboys. Too bad they're very rare here in California. I went to school for engineering and even then most of my female classmates were very feminine. I thought that women in engineering were mostly tomboys--why ain't that so?
I worked with engineers for 7 years at BMW. Mechanical engineers mostly. The few females working there did not act like women, did not look like women and fit right in with the guys. No make up, boring short hair style, baggy clothes. We had a few female interns who were feminine and they had no clue what they were doing, they only got into that field because their parents pressured them. I am not stereotyping, just listing facts.
I have been told I am a tomboy because I ride motorcycles, drive fast cars well and on tracks, practice MMA with men, mostly wear sneakers. But even though I barely use make up, half of the time I dress in skirts and dresses, so I would rather call myself adaptable than a tomboy. I dress quite sexy on a date, no mistaken me for a guy. I have never heard a guy complain that I can keep up with him in sports or like the same things and activities than he does.

Maybe times have changed, and it's no longer just butch women who go into engineering. The younger interns are more feminine because these days there's more of a feminist push to break gender stereotypes and get rid of the notion that engineering is un-womanly.
The average female mechanical or electrical engineering student at my alma mater in Northern California looks...just as feminine as your average English major girl. You'll see quite a few skirts, dresses, makeup, and curled hair.
