In theory yes but because the wheels are a friction point it would take slightly longer to get to Vr(Rotate speed). Your V1, V2, and Vr would all be the same speed as normal takeoff, it would just take a little longer to get there dependent on how much faster the conveyor was running than the take off speed.
