You can, but theres only one automated way. See here, specifically "AUTOMATING THE BUILD".

Just an additional note:

I personally suggest building LFS in a virtual environment (VirtualBox, QEMU, VMware, etc.). This can potentially save a lot of headaches if you backup your images in case your bork your LFS system. I only have one LFS install that I've done direct to HDD, all my others have been virtual.

You can take my advice or leave it, up to you. Good luck!
