Simple noobie question about the Atmel AVR STK500...

Can the XT1 and XT2 pins on PORTE\AUX used to supply a clock signal to
an external device (explanation below)?

As I am learning to program and interface the AVR's I have a 16550
UART on a separate experiment board and I see that the 16550 needs a
crystal or clock source on pins 16 and 17 (XIN and XOUT)... can the
XT1 and XT2 pins be used to supply the clock source or do I need a
separate crystal?

Thanks,
