Yes, you can use a Linked Report for this. It shares the base report's definition, so when you redeploy the base .rdl, the linked report updates automatically. Each linked report can still have its own parameters, security, and subscriptions.

To create one: open the report in the web portal go to menu then Manage then Create Linked Report, or right-click the base report in the older Report Manager UI.
