You certainly can, though you'll have to insert it directly into the
database. The table you want to put the data into is aqbooksellers, and
the schema is here:

http://schema.koha-community.org/tables/aqbooksellers.html

you could probably do something like convert your existing data to a
spreadsheet and import that directly into mysql, or write a script
that'll convert the data and put it straight in for you (which is how I
usually do this.)
