Yes. The following untested code should do it:

cd /
mv dir1/dirA .
mv dir2/dir* .
rm -r dir1 dir2

In particular, you will lose any files in dir1 and dir2 not specified
in the relevant mv. Also, the wild card specification in line 3 will
grab files as well as directories.

I suggest you make backups first if you don't make them regularly
(which you should).
