Yes.  If you look at the code for the 
"testMPEG1or2ProgramToTransportStream" demo application, you'll see 
that reads from a "ByteStreamFileSource", and writes to a "FileSink". 
You can replace the "ByteStreamFileSource" with a source object for 
your Program Stream (or, if your Program Stream source is accessible 
as a file, then you can simply continue using a 
"ByteStreamFileSource", but with a different input file name).

Then, replace the "FileSink" with a "MPEG2TransportStreamFramer", 
chained to a "SimpleRTPSink", as illustrated by the code for 
"testMPEG2TransportStreamer" (multicast streaming) or 
"MPEG2TransportFileServerMediaSubsession" (unicast streaming).
