In general, yes, there are many ways to do it.   The details depend on  
what the goal is.  Is this a server doing the work (i.e. no human  
present), or do you just want to cache the passphrase so you don't  
have to retype it frequently?  Or... ?

Also, to give you the best information, can you tell me if you are  
using GnuPG 1.4 or GnuPG 2.0, as well as what platform (Linux, OSX,  
Windows, etc) you are running on.
