new file side-branch to side-branch

I have a set of new files that exist in side branch BranchA and never in the main trunk. I want to create a version in my build branch BranchB. Is it possible to do so without merging from BranchA to the main trunk and creating BranchB off that main trunk version? The main trunk is where all the
