Yes, just run setup again and choose "Add features to an existing installation." This image is for 2012 but same deal:

Then pick the instance you want to add features to (any 2008 R2 instance will do, if you have more than one instance installed). Again, this specific screen shot is not from the exact same version, but the process is the same:

And then on the feature selection screen, make sure the options outlined in red become checked (if they're not already):
