Yes.  I do this for ImageMagick.  If you use CVS Automake, you can use
its convenience library support.  This builds a .a library when you
can then refer to when you build your shared library.
I think there may even be some support for this in the released
Automake.

Use the target 'noinst_LTLIBRARIES' to list convenience libraries to
be built.
