Nope, the PS3 can't play MKV files natively. You'd need to convert the MKV file to a supported format like MP4 or use a media server like Plex.

Actually, the PS3 doesn't support MKV files directly. I converted them to MP4 using HandBrake, works like a charm!

I tried it myself, and the PS3 doesn't support MKV. Using something like PS3 Media Server or Plex can help to stream them.
