Yes it is pretty easy to do.

First you need to convert your image to 16-bit PNG. I use ImageMagick on Linux and you may be able to use photoshop or whatever.

convert infile.tif outfile.png

Then just follow these directions on Epic’s Landscape documentation, and import your newly created PNG file.

Yep, this is a pretty old reply.
We build a tool to import GeoTiff files directly into UnrealEngine.
