Yes, unlike in FIDE chess, the king can even sacrifice it/himself. The only checkable piece is that highly vulnerable Royal Pawn, sadly restricted to ordinary pawn movements. So yes, the king can put itself in 'check.' And the king can castle through 'check.' Although the king is allowed to castle, I doubt one will encounter a worthwhile excuse to move the king further away from the center of the board where royal pawns are likely to be confined for most of the game (The king will likely wish to remain there too, in the center, at first to defend, later maybe even to attack). To talk about the king in this way (in terms of 'check') is, of course, misleading, since the king is not subject to check. I'm sorry I didn't make that explicit in my rather terse description of the rules for this page.
