Claro! Abaixo temos o mesmo exemplo usando PDO nas duas formas.
Para este exemplo, usei uma tabela users com 7 registros.

Utilizando SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS + FOUND_ROWS()

<?php

$statement = $pdo->prepare('select SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS * from users where status = :status limit :limit offset :offset');
$statement->bindValue(':status', 'ACTIVE', PDO::PARAM_STR);
$statement->bindValue(':limit', 3, PDO::PARAM_INT);
$statement->bindValue(':offset', 0, PDO::PARAM_INT);
$statement->execute();
$result = $statement->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
print_r($result);

$statement = $pdo->prepare('select FOUND_ROWS()');
$statement->execute();
$result = $statement->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
print_r($result);

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [id] => 1
            [name] => user_a
            [status] => ACTIVE
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [id] => 2
            [name] => user_b
            [status] => ACTIVE
        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [id] => 3
            [name] => user_c
            [status] => ACTIVE
        )

)
Array
(
    [FOUND_ROWS()] => 7
)

Utilizando COUNT(*)

<?php

$statement = $pdo->prepare('select * from users where status = :status limit :limit offset :offset');
$statement->bindValue(':status', 'ACTIVE', PDO::PARAM_STR);
$statement->bindValue(':limit', 3, PDO::PARAM_INT);
$statement->bindValue(':offset', 0, PDO::PARAM_INT);
$statement->execute();
$result = $statement->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
print_r($result);

$statement = $pdo->prepare('select count(*) from users where status = :status');
$statement->execute(['status' => 'ACTIVE']);
$result = $statement->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
print_r($result);

    [2] => Array
        (
            [id] => 3
            [name] => user_c
            [status] => ACTIVE
        )

)
Array
(
    [count(*)] => 7
)
