No, that's not possible. You need to install 2011 from scratch. If you 
like, you can (but don't need to) keep your 2008 in parallel to 2011.

Even if there was a "hot" update from 2008 to 2011 this would be 
basically as much as an install from scratch. You can expect that 80% 
of all packages have been updated since then.
