I don't see why not, especialy if it is some later generation star with higher amounts of heavy elements (if the Iron percentage is too low, it probably wouldn't be able to seem like rain so much as a very rarified fine mist).

Even on Jupiter, there is the potential for this to happen at some layer where the ambient temperature is near the boiling point of Iron (which is only a few hundred miles down or so).
