Tongue-in-cheek answer: Yes, but the fraction would have at least one noninteger.

Longer answer: You're wrongly assuming that a circle with rational circumference and diameter exists.

The definition of "rational number" is that it can be written as a fraction with numerator and denominator integers. The "ratio of the circumference of the circle to its diameter" is not a ratio of integers.
