So long as you're eating for size, yes.
I did a program of 3's and put on size before. So long as you are lifting hard any rep range within reason can build muscle.http://www.getlifting.info

Additional: it will probably also depend slightly on the exercises you're talking about, and the overall volume of the program.
Sure, sets of 3 reps can build muscle, but if you're only doing 1 set then a set of 10 would probably be better.
Dunno who the hell would literally do 1x3 and go home, though

If you are doing your 4 rep max of course you aren't going to get 4 reps the other 4 sets.

I don't think I could grow on sets of four reps (just me). But that doesn't mean someone else can't grow, for me I just don't think I could cause enough hypertrophy with reps that low. I like to keep my reps between 8-15 depending on where I am at in my training cycle.
