Yes, set paste. See
:he paste
for more on this. Also
:he pastetoggle
is good
I have in my .vimrc:
nmap <M-R> :exe ":undo|:set paste|:normal .:set nopaste"
set pastetoggle=<f1>
The first line of which is to redo a botched paste, the second of
which is to make the <F1> key turn this on an off. For me that only
works in inset mode. Maybe someone can improve on this.

I think the above will do what you want.

This works in vim6 and 7. Definitely 7, pretty sure about 6.
