Yes,

1.  Do a clean install of a new oracle home to be the site for testing
your upgrade.  Upgrade it to whatever patch level you currently run.
Have it owner by another OS account
2.  Make a copy of your database.  It is easiest to do this as a cold
copy or use rman to do it hot.
3.  Start it in the new Oracle home using a copied initora.
4.  Do your patch
5. test test test
