Yes, of course, since kfmclient is just a non-GUI client that talks
to the running kfm. Giving -geometry to a non-GUI program can't work :)

The problem, as far as I understand it, is not the -geometry option of kfm.
What you want is an additionnal option in kfmclient exec (or openURL)
for specifying the window size. For this you need to add those arguments
to the IPC communication between kfmclient and kfm, which is not a one line
fix.

OTOH, with konqueror and KDE 2's kfmclient, this is very easy to do
(when it's ported to dcop, i.e. next week-end probably, unless someone
beats me to it ;)
