Yes, assuming that you have shell access to the server where mailman is
installed.  You can simply edit the mbox file for the list and then run the
archive program to recreate the html archives.

The mbox file for a list should be in

    ~mailman/archives/private/<listname>.mbox/<listname>.mbox

After you remove the messages from it, run ~mailman/bin/arch <listname> to
recreate the html archives.

If you don't have shell access, you might be able to download the mbox file
from the archives page (the raw archive link) and edit it locally.  Then
send it to whomever runs the mailman server and have them run the archive
command.
