Yes.  I have:


(defun lisp-eval-last-sexp (&optional and-go)
  "Send the previous sexp to the inferior Lisp process.
Prefix argument means switch to the Lisp buffer afterwards."
  (interactive "P")
  (lisp-eval-region (save-excursion (backward-sexp) (point))
                    (point)
                    and-go))

in my ~/.emacs, along with:

(add-hook 'lisp-mode-hook
          (lambda () (local-set-key (kbd "C-x C-e") 'lisp-eval-last-sexp)))



For the while buffer,  you'd use (point-min) and (point-max), I guess,
but I'm not sure lisp-eval-region can take several sexps.  Check it.
