If the integrated graphics are also AMD and are same-gen (GCN with GCN, VLW with VLW (sp?) ), you can - but not on Ethereum as it requires more memory on the GPU than any AMD integrated unit can access to date.

 Performance is going to be low though even on other cryptocurrencies, due to the APU running on much slower memory and tending to have low core count and low clock rates.
