Yes. You use a filter that passes VHF and blocks UHF. The antenna still receives UHF and VHF but the UHF frequencies are blocked by the filter.
The preamps and the UVSJ both include filters. The UHF port has a filter to block VHF, and vice-versa. No need to modify the antenna... just filter out the part of the signal that you don't want.
ADTech suggested a couple of UVSJ (UHF-VHF combiners) that will work for what you suggest.
