Yes.
There is an instrument called a "valve Trombone", which basically looks like a trombone except that the slide doesn't move and there are three valves near the mouthpiece that look a lot like Trumpet valves. In fact, trumpet players are often asked to play valve trombone in middle and high school jazz bands when no regular trombone players are around to fill the seat. This is possible because the fingerings on a valve trombone are exactly the same as those on a trumpet.
Some trombone players, me included, find the valve trombone to have a somewhat flatter (tone, not pitch) sound than a traditional trombone. However, a good enough musician can easily achieve a beautiful sound on a valve trombone.
Additionally, there is a horn called a marching trombone that also three valves. It is similar to a baritone, but the tubing length and bore sizes are closer to those of a trombone.

In fact, the trombone was the first brass instrument to be able to play all the notes of the scale until valves were invented in the mid-1800s (certain "tone hole" instruments such as the cornett and serpent notwithstanding).
