Yes, WML contents can be read by any micro browser or User Agent. The best way of reading WML content
would probably be to use one of the many WAP device emulators available, because the contents are
written for real WAP devices, but these are heavy applications and some of the require installation
of additional components such as Java Runtime.
Here's a list of some browsers, emulators and related things. Note that they are in no particular order.
