Yes. That's one of the advantages of separating the web site content 
from the distribution content.

Rene can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think procedure is to make the 
change in the tree rooted at 
https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/website/public_html/beta, then verify it 
worked OK by looking at beta.boost.org. If that looks good, merge the 
change to the https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/website/public_html/live tree.
