The answer in any case is: yes, you can. However, the next question would be: "How?" and "Is it worth it?".
I haven't used git-annex yet, but it seems to me, that might be the solution for you. If I wanted to share a lot of big files, I'd certainly give it a try.
As for uses other than source code, there are some wikis which use git as their storage back end, for tracking versions.
This is probably possible, but not a very good idea.
