In a way yes. Setting flag via the trigger that tells the validation rule to not run....Then you can have a workflow that if flag is set, uncheck it.
It is not directly possible, and is not recommended to bypass any validation rules. You should instead put a clause in the validation rule that if it runs under a certain user profile or Id then don't do anything.
When the trigger is run under a particular user profile or Id, the validation rule won't perform any action.
Hope this makes sense!
