Yes: add the Stable Overlay [1], then install the unity8-desktop-session package.

If you're patient, a Unity 8 snap is just around the corner.  While it's not exactly the same as Unity 8 on 16.10, it's
certainly bleeding edge.  Nothing says you can't do both, but snaps are less invasive of your installed system.
