Easily yes, cheaply no.

You can call `org-get-tags-at' to get either only
local tags or both local and inherited tags.

Also, when an item is listed in the agenda, it has a text
property mentioning all tags.  You can also write your own hook function
to run through the agenda and remove certain lines (just delete them)
based on the text properties each item has.
