It is, you'll need to modify the register.php file.
When you open the file, look for a line which says:

if( !$user_id && strlen($GLOBALS['HTTP_POST_VARS']['reg_login']) < 4 ) {

change the 4 to whatever you want the minimum number of chars you allow as login name. The line below is the error message, change the number 4 there to reflect your new minimum login length as well.
