Short answer: yes. You can read the .las file using the LAS reader, then use a PointCloudCoercer to turn the point cloud into individual points and output those to DWG/DXF (or to Sketchup directly, FME supports that too).
Alternatively you can use a SurfaceModeller to generate a TIN or a surface from the point cloud data and export that. That might actually be a better solution because point clouds tend to have lots of points and it may be way too detailed for what you want to do.
