Yes.
The Reporting Services BOL gives information on how to do this.

Report Definition Language (RDL) is a set of instructions that describe layout and query information for a report. RDL is composed of Extensible Markup Language (XML) elements that conform to an XML grammar created for Reporting Services. RDL describes the XML elements, which encompass all possible variations that a report can assume. You can add your own custom functions for controlling report item values, styles, and formatting by accessing code assemblies from within report definition files. Moreover, RDL can be generated programmatically. You can build third-party tools and applications that generate RDL in much the same way that Report Designer generates RDL. For more information about using custom assemblies with reports, see Using Custom Assemblies with Reports. For more information about generating RDL with custom applications, see Generating Report Definition Language Programmatically.

They (Msft) also provide a sample .net walkthrough on how to do this (ie generate the xml that is RDL).
Take a look at -> http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/rsamples/htm/rss_tutorials_v1_02ua.asp
