yes, but AFAIK not in 'one go'
when you compile with eclipse you'll get tons of errors about the incorrect package.
you ctrl+1 on each and select 'Move to package ...' which  will fix it for the class in question.
It's not great but it's simple and you only need to do it once.

Or write a script. :)
