Yes, as long as all of the "real"s are constants.
You will also have to comment out the divide routine in float_pkg_c.vhd,
XST just doesn't like it.

"real" is not synthesizable, but "float" is.

Just convert all of your inputs to "float" and use them in that format.

signal zzz : float32;
....
zzz <= to_float (6.5);
yyy <= to_float (22);
www <= zzz * yyy;

Latest documentation is here:
