Technically, yes.

I would run in a new power feed (fused) from the battery, and install a new heavy duty relay. Connect the relay coil across the current fog light circuit (One side of the relay connected to the "hot " feed to your existing lights, and one to ground). Feed the new power feed throught the new relay contacts, then feed it to your new fog lights. DON"T try and use the existing relay for all your fog lights, you'll burn it out in no time. The new relay will draw very little current from the existing relay, and shouldn't be a problem.

Using this install method will ensure your additional fog lights will function exactly as your existing fog lights. No extra switches need to be added.

If you did want to control the fog lights separately, Install a switch in the passenger compartment and switch 12 volts (from the accesory circuit) through it, and feed that to the hot side of the above mentioned relay (disconnected from the existing fog light circuit first). If you left the fog light connection intact, then your existing fog lights would also come on when you turned the additional lights on.

Beware, Caution, use this information at your own risk. Mitsubishi could void your warranty for tampering with the electrical wiring in you car. They've even published a TSB to that affect.
