Yes. The latest tools_v2.1 bundle includes a Calibre plug in for Adobe DRM-ridden ePub that should make this as easy as converting DRM-free ePub to MOBI. See Apprentice Alf's Blog for the latest state of play for DRM.

Note that there is very little doubt that stripping DRM from lending library ebooks is illegal in the US. It is difficult to see how the DMCA can be enforced in practice for lending library ebooks that you format shift for personal use though.
