Partly.

You can have the web server set "Cache-Control: public" telling the cache
that even thou there was login credentials in the request the returned
response does not really require a password and may be cached.

You can also tweak the Squid sources to assume this. IIRC there is a patch
in bugzilla (or maybe it's on devel.squid-cache.org) for adding
refresh_pattern options to control this.

But be warned that this effectively removes the password protection from
the pages.
