Yes.

Boot single-user.
At the shell prompt, enter
# mount -u /
# mv /usr /usr.root
# mkdir /usr
# rm -rf /usr.root
The 'mount -u' updates root to be read/write. The minor shuffle
here is to make sure you don't forget the 'mkdir /usr' step. :-)
It also allows you to go ahead and mount /usr and/or boot multi-user
before removing /usr.root if you like.
