Maybe, depending on where the break is and how bad it is. And maybe if it is super rare. I would be talking to someone with experience in welding and remachining cranks to see what they thought about your individual problem. My guess is that it would be expensive and technical. And the result might not be as strong as an original crankshaft.
Unless it was a lot less expensive to have a crankshaft welded, I would start looking for a replacement shaft that could be used as-is or which could be machined for the next undersize. I also would try to figure out what made the original crankshaft break. I have had bearings spin, which damaged crankshafts a couple of times, but I have never encountered a broken crank in my 50+ years of tinkering. Maybe I have just been lucky...good luck to you!
