Yes.
You need something like:
SUBSYSTEM=="lirc", \
        KERNEL=="lirc*", \
        DRIVERS=="lirc_serial", \
        SYMLINK+="lircSerial"
or:
SUBSYSTEM=="input", \
        KERNEL=="event*", \
        ATTRS{name}=="i2c IR (Hauppauge WinTV PVR-350", \
        SYMLINK+="input/ir-PVR350"

Be aware of the backslashes to make them into one line
