Yes, via CSS:

textarea {background: color url(image.jpg)}

Mozilla has proprietary CSS extentions that allows for rounded borders.
However, the border creeps into the box, and can end up underneath content.
You can try this (works only in Mozilla):

textarea {background: color url(image.jpg)}; -moz-border-radius: 10%}
