Yes. I do it all the time. To me, a 100 pin connector with lines drawn to it is a confusing representation, but a table is easy to read. Thus:

http://www.gedasymbols.org/user/john_doty/tools/pins2gsch.html

pins2gsch turns a tabular representation of a bunch of connections into a pseudoschematic file that lacks graphics, but contains the connection info for gnetlist. There's also pins2tex for documentation. For an elaborate project using this machinery for connectors, see:
