They can, but unless they're largish pots, I wouldn't recommend it. They tend to dry out quickly in drier weather and their natural tendency to send runners will quickly make them potbound.

I have been successfully growing raspberries in pots for the last few years. I just use the largest pot possible and replace the compost every other year. Yields are pretty good, but not as good as when I have grown them in the ground (don't have any ground any more so no choice). I have had the same canes for 4 years and not lost one yet  :)

My friend grow's raspberries and strawberries on a commercial scale. All the raspberries are in 10 inch pots and are fed and watered by an automatic irrigation system. They are thrown out after 2 year's and replaced with new stock. The strawberries are grown in growbags and also have the automatic irrigation system. They are thrown out after 3 year's. It is cheaper for him to but in new stock rather than potting up the runner's. In answere to your question, Yes you can but there will be a lot of work involved, watering feeding etc.
