Yes!

You can have proteinuria without renal failure, and you can have renal failure without proteinuria.

Some situations where you might have proteinuria in the absence of renal failure include over production of protein (eg. side effects of medications), glomerulonephritis/nephrotic syndrome (where you have inflammation in the kidneys, causing temporarily more permeable glomeruli), preeclampsia, or even transiently it may not be pathological at all.

Ongoing nephrotic syndrome can cause permanent damage to the kidneys, eventually resulting in renal failure.
