technically yes - but I would have to give them my traceable serial number which is unique and if they would give it further (and I know they would) someone would re-register it (what is pain in ass too) and I could lose my registration... You can guess what I will do...
The technical details are well described by Zhuangzi - even if with one serial you have 2 or 3 free re-registrations (that means that your HW changed - either you buy new video card, or you install it on different PC), also there is possible offline registration, which is not as nice and smooth.
If you give them good reason - you can re-register it on as many PC's you want - if the reason is damn bullet proof (I just can't think of any such reason, but I know that when I changed HW a lot due I wanted to find my ultimate PC configuration - and I spoke with the customer servis from ATARI I think (now I would go for Gamersgate as I was very dissapointed with the patch delay from ATARI) they had no problems with it) - but don't count on this too much - friend of mine had huge issue of re-registering some online game - and they didn't allow him to do so...
It is the same like with boxed version - you may borrow it to your firends - but do you want to? (depends on firends probably)
