Only if the file is unlocked.

Where did you get the canonical value '*' from?

Setting svn:needs-lock on an unlocked modified file, or unlocking an
svn:needs-lock file which has been modified, both seem like error
conditions to me. The user should not be able to, without manually
breaking the read-only flag, get the working copy into a state where
there is an svn:needs-lock file which is locally modified and unlocked.
