Sure you can. Take a piece of racking that's long enough to go through your carboy stopper and into the krausen just above the liquid line. Attach tubing to the piece of racking cane and into your yeast collection jar. (Everything sanitized, of course.)

This is my top cropping method - except I just use a piece of tubing instead of a racking cane.
