Yes, if you drive supports it, which I think it does.
labash@lou1:~ > mt -v
mt-st v. 0.5b
compression Off
labash@lou1:~ > mt compress 0
compression On
labash@lou1:~ > mt compress 1
Note: My compression LED doesn't come On/Off until tape is written.
As you can see I use "mt-st" rather than GNU's "mt", it has more

Kai's mt-st compiles/installs right out of the box, recommended.
