Short answer: No.

Longer answer: The OpenPGP card does not permit the export of keys it
stores. That's the whole point of using the card.

If you generate new keys on the card itself, there's never any way of
exporting them. If the card is lost or damaged, so are the keys.

However, if you generate new keys on a computer, you can make a backup
of the keys before you import them onto the card. If you haven't already
done this before importing them onto the card, you're out of luck.

Cheers!
