I see no reason why not if your cross-sections are, say,
regularly-spaced months or years _and_ you have lots of them. In my
field, the most common application of ARIMA are for fitting models
explaining party voting-intention shares drawn from monthly opinion
polls (and their lags). In any case, much depends upon how your
response variable is calibrated. You can join the dots from there.
