Yes you should be able to do this. The process would be:

1. Stop the motor
2. Set/Reset or read the current encoder position
3. Set the Position PID settings.
4. Send Position command with the position set to the current encoder position

You could write a fairly simple MCL script to do this based on an input on one of the programmable I/Os
