I believe so. I recall a book, Amongst the Draugr I think, saying something emanates from the dragon priests buried in the tombs, rendering the dead living. Since Olaf One-Eye's corpse appears draugrsized even though he's in Sovngarde, it's implied the kind of lifeforce the draugr receive is not their own, instead produced by the priests to have their followers on the cult even after death. Just my thoughts, though.
