Sure. Use Peter Vanroose's trees package. You'll find it at CTAN at

/macros/latex/contrib/treesvr/

With PStricks you'll be able to draw trees in any position you want (and lots of other things too).

using pstricks, you have either to generate the pstricks stuff separately, and convert the resulting stuff to pdf, or you need to use latex rather than pdflatex for your whole job, and to use dvips and a distiller (ps2pdf, or whatever) to create the final output.
