Yes. You have to issue the "escape character" which, unless you've changed it,
is ~ (preceded by a newline) and then "C". This will give you a command-line
at which you can type -L or -K commands. This is all documented in the ssh man
page.
For example:
[~C]
ssh> -L 5901:localhost:5901
It is very handy.
