Yes, figs grow very well in pots, especially in cooler parts of the UK. Container growing naturally restricts root growth, which encourages fruiting. Use a large pot (at least 45cm wide), filled with loam-based compost like John Innes No. 3. Keep it in a sunny, sheltered spot. Water consistently during the growing season and feed with a high-potash fertiliser. Repot every 2-3 years or top up with fresh compost annually.
