Of course but this does not put any condition. One can forsake his family to follow his path while still finding love in what and who they are, just as one's family can be part of one's path.
I think the ultimate act of unconditional love is to let go of this creation and let it be. To not wish to put plasters on the wounds nor create wounds in what has none, but to simply let what is be of it's own. The root of the original thought as I see it. So from this perspective I think unconditional love is but exploring what love is through yourself. You cannot fake loving something nor create a false desire to be more loving.
So even if some are part of your family or not, you can always only explore how you feel about others within circumstances.
