Yes. However, they may not be very appropriate for your rolls.
At what stage are you with your rolls? What training / experience have you had? What is your preferred technique? What kind of problems do you encounter when you roll? Has anybody more experienced had a look at them? Do you have footage of them?

A break fall is a method of reducing the strain the body is subjected to on impact with the floor. These are common in martial arts, but they are also useful in parkour.
A break roll is a rolling break fall.
Parkour break rolls differ from martial arts break rolls because are generally done forwards, and need to redirect momentum quickly into running where possible.
Parkour rolls are different to gymnastic rolls in that they are intentionally unstable and asymmetrical, to allow better distribution of forces and to prevent damage to bone and soft tissues when on hard surfaces.
There are a great many variants of the break roll that are all useful for parkour. However, teaching them all would take too long, especially seeing as some people prefer one way over another, and some work better depending on your circumstance...
The best way to learn is from someone experienced who can show you theirs and inspect yours. The next best thing is careful practice and experience.
If you need to learn from scratch, there are a whole series of exercises I could give you... But I don't know your level of experience at all. See what I asked "piratefreerunner64"? If you want specific advice, the same goes for you.
