Yes.
/var/lib/shorewall/firewall restart
or
/var/lib/shorewall/firewall refresh
In general, you can avoid the compilation step by setting AUTOMAKE=Yes
in shorewall.conf (which is what I do). Then 'start' and 'restart' just
run /var/lib/shorewall/firewall unless something in /etc/shorewall or
/usr/share/shorewall/ has changed
