Sure.  To set non-default properties, construct the scale bar, modify some
properties, and then add the control.  For english units, do something like:

    var myScaleBar = new OpenLayers.Control.ScaleBar();
    myScaleBar.displaySystem = 'english';
    map.addControl(myScaleBar);

Other properties include divisions, subdivisions, showMinorMeasures, and
align.  See ScaleBar.js for defaults.  I'll send out more complete docs
later.
