Yes, you can.

Two points worth noting: (a) -xtreg, fe robust- reports cluster-robust
SEs, not heteroskedasticity-robust SEs as you suggest.  (b) If you use
-xtivreg2- with the bw() option to get kernel-robust SEs, you are
relying on large-T asymptotics.  If your dataset is not very long in the
time-series dimension, the kernel-robust approach will not work very
well.

HTH,
Mark
