Yes you can if you have defined the same "native" call in the same classes in the same packages.

Native libraries are installed in lib directory for an application, which is readable for anyone. Therefore, appB can use

System.Load("/data/data/com.appA/lib/libnativeA.so")

But the guess of the full path to other package's libraries is not based on documented interfaces, and there is no guarantee this will work in future versions.
