You can use local-data and local-zone lines in unbound.conf to provide 
your own data which so, yes.  You'll want access-control lines to tell it 
that it's OK to send answers to addresses on your network.

I use local-data and local-zone on my home netmwork to give names to 
devices behind my NAT router and to shortcircuit queries to some ad 
networks.
