Well, theoretically: Yes. Practically: No. Debian is mostly used as a binary distribution offering precompiled binaries to be installed; while you could use tools like apt-build and pbuilder and use your already available sources there, you won't gain much (and you need to download stuff (.dsc and diff.gz files make a debian source package complete) from debian mirrors anyway.
