Absolutely, but...Signing NDAs put agencies in control of the situation. Sharing work, even after signing an NDA, may be passively acceptable by an agency which actively turns a blind eye. Why would they go through the trouble of having you sign an NDA then? So they can jerk a knot in your ass when they decide they don't like what you're doing. They key for the person signing the NDA is to know that they're playing with fire by sharing work...maybe they'll never get burned, maybe they will. Regardless if you choose to play with matches, it doesn't hurt to have a bucket of water handy in the form of credit/disclaimers, positive attributions, and unicorn stickers toward the entity that is paying you.
Lastly...client NDA trumps agency NDA. If a client has an NDA with your agency, then you're asking for more than a curt email if you elect to share their work. A CD may be forgiving; A client doesn't, won't, and shouldn't care.
