My understanding is yes, you can. I heard that If you draw your traces
with the "clear polygon" option, new polygons will clear those traces.
 So there must be a flag associated with your traces in your .pcb
file. Change the flag of your existing traces to reflect the "clear
polygon" option.

I haven't tried by myself, though.
