Yes, you can certainly do that.  Basically, just re-partition your drive to
be  however you want it, then restore the data and boot up with the new
partition layout, *THEN* do the upgrade...  It'll work like a charm...

It can be a little tricky -- make sure you modify your /etc/fstab, update
lilo.conf/grub.conf if you are moving /boot around, and update the root
partition.
