Yes, but it's not for the faint of heart (at least not the way I know). You have to copy both the Beamer theme file you're using and the outertheme file it loads someplace (with new names), and edit them. Hack the outertheme file to show what you want; hack the main theme to use the new outertheme. The new files have to be places somewhere that LaTeX looks (preferably your local texmf tree), and you have to reindex your LaTeX files (run texhash or whatever, or use MiKTeX control applications if you're a MiKTeX user). I think the Beamer manual discusses how to do this. Search 'outertheme'.
