According the the API v1 docs, this is possible, by including result_type=popular in the query string of your request.

For example, if you wanted to search for popular tweets relating to the search term popular tweets, your request would be as follows:

http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=popular%20tweets&result_type=popular
