Yes. Or, temporarily,  the 'swapoff' command.

I think it might work without. If you have hda1=boot, hda2=root, hda3=swap, 
you could delete hda3 and hda2 with [c]fdisk and make hda2 the size of 
hda2+hda3, then use resize2fs to increase the size of hda2. Increasing a 
file system's size works online nowadays. I don't think it would work with 
hda2=swap and hda3=root, but I'm not sure.

Using LVM, things would be easier :)
