Yes.  An easy way to do this is to change the replication schedule.
Step 1: Find the DN of your replication agreement
ldapsearch -x -D "cn=directory manager" -w password -b cn=config 
"(objectclass=nsds5ReplicationAgreement)" dn cn
Step 2: Change the replication schedule window to some bogus time
ldapmodify -x -D "cn=directory manager" -w password
dn: dn from Step 1
changetype: modify
replace: nsds5replicaupdateschedule
nsds5replicaupdateschedule: 2358-2359 0

This tells the server to only replicate between 11:58pm and 11:59pm on 
Sunday.  Schedule changes take effect quickly, so it should stop 
replicating soon after getting this request.

Step 3: Restart replication
ldapmodify -x -D "cn=directory manager" -w password
dn: dn from Step 1
changetype: modify
replace: nsds5replicaupdateschedule
nsds5replicaupdateschedule: 0000-2359 0123456

That turns the schedule back to all day, every day, and it should take 
effect immediately, sending over all of the changes it had stored while 
replication was stopped.
