Yes, it's easy to do. If your FAQ is included in the
LISTNAME.info file, people can just send a 'info LISTNAME' to
have the faq sent to them.

Otherwise, if you have the FAQ in the list's archive directory
(and it's called faq.txt), people can send a 'get LISTNAME faq.txt'
request to majordomo.

You can get one (written in Perl) from
ftp:/ftp.ora.com//pub/examples/nutshell/miis/miis.9412.tar.Z
