http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetosphere http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Structure_of_the_magnetosphere_mod.svg It would seem so, but not quite at the poles (although maybe the polar cusp would coincide with the position of the poles when the earth is tiled 23 degrees a the height of summer/winter). But if it was tilted, then surely the Earth's magnetic would tilt to a certain extent also. So- I think so, but probably not exactly at the poles.
