I don't see why not. The science community is fairly agreed upon the constituents of early life, and only disagree on how the constituents actualy came to be combined together to form life. So, you could 'seed' a planet and then let life take it's course. That said, you'd have to create an atmosphere on Mars first, because there are only a few bacteriums that can withstand the radiation that makes it's way through Mars' thin atmosphere (one being Deinococcus radiodurans).

Well, first step might be to define what you would consider as 'intelligent life'?
