Yes,but it involves access to the ceiling terminations and positions & running a new switch drop for the second light.

See the Wiki for diagrams.

If they are 12 Volt halogens, you will also need another transformer, maybe two if the single light doesn't meet the minimum load criterium of the existing transformer.
