Yes you can. I do it from time to time.

Be sure to remove the contents of  /usr/lib/asterisk/modules before 
installing any version (your current or the latest one), because new 
modules (if there are any) will not be removed when reverting back to 
the previous version and you will have problems. And just issue a 'make 
install' (not a 'make samples'!)
