In most cases the answer is no, you can't have a buy it now price in an auction style listing that has already received bids. In most cases, the buy it now option disappears as soon as the first bid is placed.

To further clarify my answer; if there is a reserve price in the auction, buy it now remains visible until the reserve price has been met or exceeded.
There are a few categories where buy it now lasts longer and will remain until a certain price level has been reached.
Here is the thread which describes it.
