Not without violating the Constitution. Article III, Section 1 specifies:
"The judicial power of the United States, shall be vested in one Supreme Court, and in such inferior courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The judges, both of the supreme and inferior courts, shall hold their offices during good behaviour, and shall, at stated times, receive for their services, a compensation, which shall not be diminished during their continuance in office."
In the 19th-century, the Court's compensation was reduced several times; however, it's not clear how Congress managed to accomplish this without the Justices taking action against it.
