Yes, it is possible.

You can customize the SharePoint list which has lookup columns in it.

Here are the examples of others using lookup columns while customizing list forms:

Update:

If you are not able to customize the list forms using "Customize forms" option in command bar, follow below workaround:

Go to SharePoint list
Click on Settings icon and select List settings
Select Form settings
Click on Customize in PowerApps under Use a custom form created in PowerApps (requires new list experience)

I have a simple test list. As soon as I add lookup field click on 'Customize forms' does not do anything. What I am doing wrong?

I am also facing the same issue on my tenant today. Even for newly created list with only Title column, I am not able to customize list forms using Power Apps.

My problem was that Power App was not launched when I clicked on 'Customize forms'. I found that after refreshing the page it started loading. I seems nothing to do with lookup column. Thank you for tackling my issue. I understand that it was vague.

Yes, same problem for me. But you can customize list forms using 2 ways: 1. Using "Customize forms" from command bar. 2. workaround given in my updated answer. It's always good to know multiple ways to work with (if first option does not work).
