Yes. However, you have to know the version you want to downgrade to. SL began using Amazon as a download server back in the 1.15.x. days. To get the setup program for 1.15.0.2, for example, you would go to:
http://s3.amazonaws.com/download-secondlife-com/Second%20Life%201-15-0-2%20Setup.exe

If you want to see a list of all the available versions, albeit in hard-to-read http encoded form, just go to:
http://s3.amazonaws.com/download-secondlife-com

(there's probably a nicer way to do this, but I'm too lazy to figure it out).

Remember to uninstall the version you now have before installing the new one. Personally, because you're moving between such very different versions, I would also delete your local Second Life data directory before doing this. In XP, that is at:
C:\Documents and Settings\<your userid>\Application Data\SecondLife

Delete the entire folder. You will have to reset your Preferences when you first login.
