You can, if your stylus is made of the right material, see here for instance.

unfortunately, the right material is not built into my fingernails
I do believe multitouch resistive is the way to go

You can us a special stylus on a plain capacitive, but the input is finger sized. You can't get fine control, like with a thin stylus that can fit in your device easily and give you really great precision, for things like drawing or using standard desktop menus that aren't finger sized.
Some notebooks use a combination of capactive touch and active touch screen layers, this is more expensive and one can use a very precise active stylus with the active screen layer. The problem is both cost and size of active stylus. So if you need drawing, or use desktop software unmodified on a small screen the best bang for the buck is resistive touch.

Resistive I believe is getting a bad rap. n900's implementation I think is hot. the little rim on the edge of the screen I like because it prevents the screen from scratching when face down.
try rDesctop on a capacitive screen the size of the n900!
That said: Palm V, Palm T3, n810, touch screens have all failed after more than 1 year of daily use. Nokia - teh n900 is the make or brake - I'll report back here in a year and give you the ultimate verdict on resistive. (so far i love capacitive but want resistive on my n900)

Maybe they will make some kind of "sausage" pads you can stick to you gloves' fingers.
But if there will be no devices with resistive screens I'll stuck with N900.

I am now 110% sold on the n900's resistive screen this image below shows the levels of pressure sensitivity on the n900.
just installed myPaint and can confirm i would not give this up for a capacitive screen.

enable extras-devel as described above...
as root
apt-get install mypaint mypaint-data python-support python-hildon python-osso
cd /usr/lib/
ln -s libblas.so.3gf libblas.so
ln -s liblapack.so.3gf.0 liblapack.so
should do it...
Issues:
Fremantle UI not feature complete yet, and maybe some small bugs. I recommend it highly though...
And as always - disable extras-devel when you are finished...
