Oh yes, you can. Xvid was created to be used in other GPLed applications. Just make sure that the app or package you intend to distribute is really licensed as a whole under the GPL or a compatible license (like LGPL). Sometimes, parts of an application are published under a different, incompatible license. This could then pose a problem for combined distribution. If in doubt ask at info@xvid.org.
