Yes.  Say you want redundancy between two routers connecting to a single
upstream that provides you a single /30.  You connect all three to the
same switch/VLAN, assign private addresses for VRRP to the
provider-facing interfaces, and assign your single public /30 address to
the VRRP interface.  If the primary router fails, the backup router's
VRRP interface will become active, as will the address, and traffic will
commence to the backup router.  On your network facing side, you'll need
to have OSPF or something else setup to advertise a default route (or
whatever is appropriate), but using the
distribute-default=if-installed-as-... option, lest the backup/inactive
router advertise the default route as well.
