Yes.  A good way to find how to do any thing in bzrlib is to trace
down from builtins.py, where cmd_pack has simply:

    def run(self, branch_or_repo='.', clean_obsolete_packs=False):
        dir = bzrdir.BzrDir.open_containing(branch_or_repo)[0]
        try:
            branch = dir.open_branch()
            repository = branch.repository
        except errors.NotBranchError:
            repository = dir.open_repository()
        repository.pack(clean_obsolete_packs=clean_obsolete_packs)
