Yes you can. In the addnode command, there is a flag just for that.

-z ZONE, --availability-zone=ZONE

In the load balancer however you can't. I have a fork of StarCluster that enables it though. When you launch it, you specify --ignore-grp. It's only useful when you work with spot instances as it will bid in the cheapest zone.

This fork also supports multiple zone into a VPC, which is also handy.
