The short answer is yes, providing the circuit you run meets the requirements for the ampere rating of the breaker like the right wire size.

The code requires that you use a double pole breaker in the way you want to if the neutral conductor is shared between both circuits. I'm not sure off hand if it meets code using two separate neutrals.
