I feel like you already know the answer. Yes, in the history of Harvard Business School, people with sub 3.4 GPA's have gotten admitted.

GPA is certainly important but the Harvard Admissions folks I have spoken to always stress that they look at the entire application of which GPA is only one data point. A high GMAT may help persuade them that you can handle the academic rigors of the program but it would help to have a good reason why your GPA was low. Ultimately your application will have to be better than others who have higher GPA's in other areas to compensate but it isn't an automatic rejection for you even if it does make it that much harder.
