Yes and no.
The current Policy screen is explicitly sized to be 1024x768, to ensure that it is all viewable as-is on machines running at the lowest allowable resolution. That 768-pixel width is exactly enough to cover five policy box backgrounds, their separators, and the borders. If you wanted to add a scroll bar to the existing layout, it'd either have to cover up part of the existing images or else it'd widen the box to where it wouldn't work on that lowest resolution. Or, you'd have to rearrange the existing policies to have fewer than 5 branches in each row. (So adding 2 policy boxes would allow a 4x3 arrangement, with plenty of room for a scroll bar.)
In my own mod I simply added a toggle instead to hide/show my Social Engineering policy box, so that it's 1024x768 when the box is closed and 1024x913 when it's open. That way, people playing at 1024x768 can open the box, click whatever they need, and then close it again to get their "CLOSE" button back into the visible area. But a scroll bar is better if you're going to be adding a lot of policies or branches and still want all of them to be visible.
