If you mean can you backup both the iMac and the MacBook Pro to the same external drive with Time Machine, yes.
Just make sure you have enough space for 2x-3x the data on both Macs.
You can share out the external on the iMac as a Time Machine destination and backup the MacBook Pro over WiFi.
I use different drives for my Mini and my MBP's, but the different backups can coexist on the same drive.
