Yup.
You can buy kits that turn your downtube shifter attachments to guides for the cables instead, and from there on you can treat the system like any other and use whatever shifter style you want.
(one of my bikes is like that, and has bar end shifters. If I wasn't too lazy to get off my buns, I'd take a pic of the shifter/guide conversion and post it.)
Edit to add: this is it. $14. Riv isn't the only one to sell 'em, they just have the best picture: http://www.rivbike.com/products/list...product=17-045
