Sentient colonial organisms?

Question: Could colonial organisms form into a sentient being, something like a human, for example? Could they evolve into beings with thoughts and feelings? A race of colonial organisms taking the form of humans would be interesting... but I'm not sure if its plausible.

PS: by 'colonial organism' I dont mean ants, (This type of question has been asked before), I mean siphonophore (this is just an example, I don't mean colonial organisms that are aquatic, specifically) type organisms, like the Portuguese man of war.
