You can indeed.  When you create a custom button for a standard/custom object, you can specify the Behaviour as "Display in New Window" and the Content Source as Visualforce Page.

 

Note that in order to use a VF page in this way it will need to use the standard controller of the object in question - that is, if you create a button on the account object, the visualforce page must use the account standard controller otherwise it won't appear in the list.

You can call a VF page from any button or link. For this  Select a 'Visualforce Page' in Content Source picklist and select your VF page from content picklist.

I know we can call a VF page, but i guess it opens a new page, can it comeup as a popup?

hi! you can do with javascript.

Try this to see if is what you know

 

<INPUT type="button" value="New Window!" onClick="window.open('http://www.pageresource.com/jscript/jex5.htm','mywindow','width=400,height=200')">

this is from a button but you can do through a link

<A HREF="javascript&colon;newwindow()" ></A>

Set the behaviour on your custom button to open in new window - that will give you a popup.
