Yes and No, depends.

If you mean during the form creation process for filling out the page, then yes, there is a "duplicate fields" option when you right click on a field in Prepare Form mode.

If you mean dynamically while the form is running, then it's more complicated. On a LiveCycle (now AEM) form this type of dynamic field creation is a natural part of the form design. But with a regular AcroForm your only real option is using Page Templates to create new pages of entries.
