Yes, it is possible:

<input type="checkbox" @(ViewData["Mailing"] != null ? @checked : "") />

but it is not something that you should want to do especially when you have strongly typed helpers at your disposal that already take care for this:

@Html.CheckBoxFor(x => x.Mailing)

Shorter, strongly typed, no ViewData, no spaghetti.
