Not easily: you have to redefine these commands such that they add an 
entry to the .toc file where all TOC entries are stored. Namely, you 
have to add inside \listoffigures the line:

	\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\listfigurename}

and inside \listoftables:

	\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\listtablename}

and similarly for the index and glossary.

How to do this: locate inside 
/Library/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/latex/base/ the file where these 
commands are defined (normally report.cls for a report, book.cls for a 
book), copy the definition, sandwiched between \makeatletter ... 
\makeatother, in your document's preamble, and add the required line 
inside it. In case you're using report.cls, that should be:

\makeatletter
\newcommand\listoffigures{%
     \if at twocolumn
       \@restonecoltrue\onecolumn
     \else
       \@restonecolfalse
     \fi
     \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\listfigurename}  % <<<<< this is 
the required bit
     \chapter*{\listfigurename}%
       \@mkboth{\MakeUppercase\listfigurename}%
               {\MakeUppercase\listfigurename}%
     \@starttoc{lof}%
     \if at restonecol\twocolumn\fi
     }
\newcommand\listoftables{%
     \if at twocolumn
       \@restonecoltrue\onecolumn
     \else
       \@restonecolfalse
     \fi
     \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\listtablename}  % <<<<< this is the 
required bit
     \chapter*{\listtablename}%
       \@mkboth{%
           \MakeUppercase\listtablename}%
          {\MakeUppercase\listtablename}%
     \@starttoc{lot}%
     \if at restonecol\twocolumn\fi
     }
\makeatother

In case you're using a different document class, or other packages that 
modify \listofigures or \listoftables, you've got to take the 
modifications into account. For example, one of my documents contains 
(don't copy these definitions for you, as they assume the hyperref 
package is used, and they include other modifications as well to 
achieve a specific page layout):

\makeatletter
\renewcommand{\listoffigures}
   {\thispagestyle{plain}
    \global\@topnum=0
    \setboolean{@afterindent}{false}
    \renewcommand{\@currentHref}{listfigureanchor}
    \hyper at anchorstart{\@currentHref}\hyper at anchorend
    \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\listfigurename}  % <<<<< this is the 
required bit
    \@makeschapterhead{\centering\listfigurename}
    \@afterheading\vspace{10pt}
    \markboth{\MakeUppercase\listfigurename}
             {\MakeUppercase\listfigurename}
    \@starttoc{lof}}
\renewcommand{\listoftables}
   {\thispagestyle{plain}
    \global\@topnum=0
    \setboolean{@afterindent}{false}
    \renewcommand{\@currentHref}{listtableanchor}
    \hyper at anchorstart{\@currentHref}\hyper at anchorend
    \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\listtablename}  % <<<<< this is the 
required bit
    \@makeschapterhead{\centering\listtablename}
    \@afterheading\vspace{10pt}
    \markboth{\MakeUppercase\listtablename}
             {\MakeUppercase\listtablename}
    \@starttoc{lot}}
\makeatother

As I said, not easy for beginners ! There may be packages, that I don't 
know, doing all this for you or offering this as an option. The LaTeX 
Companion is one place where to find such information.
