Yes, but it's awkward. A launch done with the current CentOS 6.x  base
HVM image remains with an 8 Gig "/" parition, even if a larger disk
image is allocated for it, until you manually use "fdisk" to delete
the partition and resize it manuall, do a reboot so CentOS 6 sees the
full partition, and then use "resize2fs" to rebuild it.

I keep a larger base disk image around for just this purpose, but it's
a waste of time I could better spend on other tasks, and rebooting is
a fairly undesirable step.
