Yes. Pretty much any amount, or duration of rain.
I have fenders, and I keep a rolled up plastic bag in my tool bag. My worst case experience was a century ride where it started to rain steadily at about 35 miles. I stopped, put the bag over the saddle, put on my cycling cap, and kept going. So, about 65 miles in a steady rain. No problem with the saddle.
(edit) There's nothing special about the bag. It's a simple plastic shopping bag.(/edit)
