Yes. 
You can use the 'msgmerge' program for this.
That is basically what happens when you run 'make updatepo' in the
locale directory. But instead of the regular msgmerge, Audacity uses its
own: 'smartmsgmerge.py' which apparently is a better merge program in
the sense that it produces a smaller number of fuzzy messages (i.e. less
work for the translator).

But it's ok to use the regular/standard msgmerge if you want.
