The right answer is "no".
Explanation:
To form a real image of a real object, you must form it from straight light beams, and not its projections.
In a diverging lens, every parallel-to-axis beam will diverge: it will 'open' its trajectory, drawing a straight line which goes through the focus of the lens. Hence, these beams will never converge to a point, forming the image. So, you will always have to use projection beams to form a virtual image, whatever is the distance from the lens you put the real object.
