Yes, you can.

volatile int merr=0;
static unsigned int fpcw;
void math_handler(int sig){
   fpcw = _clear87() & 0xff;
   printf("SIGFPE: %x\n",fpcw);
   merr = fpcw;
}

int main(int argc, char **argv){
double foo,bar;   
  signal(SIGFPE,math_handler);
  foo=0.; bar = 1.;
  bar = bar/foo;
  return 0;
}

You also may want to include <libm/math.h>,
say  
 _fdlib_version = _SVID_;
 _control87(EM_UNDERFLOW, ~EM_UNDERFLOW);
 _control87(EM_INEXACT, ~EM_INEXACT);

and define your own
int matherr(struct exception *e)

to correct errors...
