Indeed you can. You must download the corresponding PECL extension,
compile it, put it in the right directory and enable it like this:

extension_dir = "/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20050922"
extension=oci8.so

For this, you must have shared library oci8.so in the directory defined as
an extension_dir:
[root@medo ~]# ls -l /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20050922/
total 272
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 271587 Mar 31 08:43 oci8.so

If you are running Windoze, ready-made extensions can be downloaded from
http://pecl4win.php.net. If not, you'll have to download and compile your
own. In theory, you should be able to write "pecl install <module>", but
pecl command is a buggy junk that doesn't work, so you'll have to do it
the hard way:

pecl bundle <module>
cd module
phpize
../configure
make
make install
