Yes. There are some pretty large sites written with Django. You can see a list of sites using django here, some get significant traffic.

It can be done if you design and configure Django correctly. In particular caching must be set up properly. Django has recently come out with several improvments designed to improve scalability in particular the ability to easily use multiple databases, you can read about the scalability improvemnts in Django 1.2 here.

Django is a lot younger than PHP (1995 vs 2005). A lot of the improvments made in Django scalability are very recent, I think we'll see larger Django sites as time goes on and the project matures.

This topic is discussed in great detail with lots of good links on StackOverflow.
