Yes, it does! Playing with Dr. Litchfield sample code, I came out with this:

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{pbsi}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{txfonts}%%% <- selects the txfonts (Times) by default

\begin{document}
\bsifamily

The quick brown hippopotamus jumped over the lazy elephant.

\medskip

\normalfont %%% <- Times from the txfonts package

The quick brown \emph{hippopotamus} jumped over the \textbf{lazy} elephant.

\medskip

\usefont{T1}{ppl}{m}{n}\selectfont %%% <- Palatino

The quick brown \emph{hippopotamus} jumped over the \textbf{lazy} elephant.

\medskip

\normalfont

Back to Times (from the \texttt{txfonts} package)\dots

\end{document}


I would advise you to consult the "LaTeX2e font selection" document, by 
the LaTeX3 Project Team. In your terminal,

     texdoc fntguide


Best,
