no you cannot as those are defined in script include which is server side.

You can have your own constants in client script and then have logic.

what's your actual business requirement?

No There is no such requirement specific.
I want to use constants for example i want to set the value to New.
in order to do that in client script ideally we do like.
g_form.setValue('state', '1');

instead of direct backend values can i use some constants so that its readable and easy to understand.
giving direct backend values just to avoid this?

then something like this will help you

Note: This is just an example

var IncidentState = {
    NEW: '1',
    IN_PROGRESS: '2',
    ON_HOLD: '3',
    AWAITING_USER_INFO: '4',
    AWAITING_EVIDENCE: '5',
    RESOLVED: '6',
    CLOSED: '7',
    CANCELED: '8'
};

// Usage in client script
if (g_form.getValue('state') == IncidentState.NEW) {
    alert('Incident is New');
}
