Yes.  And though I've mentioned it before, I'll say it again for your
benefit.

There are two simple methods for doing what you are talking about.

The first is to place a x (probably 40) pin IDC connector on the
board, and a x-pin DIP to ribbon connector plugged into that.  Quick
and easy, but the ribbon gets in the way.

The second is to use two bent SIP connectors.  One mounted each way
up, so that they come out in the alignment of a DIP.

ex:

     |
     |--
   --| |
   | | |
   |   |
   |   |

Not my usual ASCII art, sorry bout that.

Either of those methods should work, but you will need one set of
elongated SIP pins for it to be fully effective.
