Yes, it can.
If you made a dunkelweiss the washing process will clean off the dark malts and you can re-use it for a light (colored) Hefe Weizen.

Hrm. Well, I went to rack it and it didn't smell like a hefe. Maybe it's the darker malts, but it smelled kind of odd, so I elected to dump the yeast this time. One a more classic hefe I'll save and wash the yeast.
There was a LOT of yeast, though. It never did need the blow-off tube like a regular hefe.
