Sure: e.g. alias yus='yum update --skip-broken'.

Obviously, if you run it with sudo you'd have to include 'sudo' in front,
and if run as root, you could either put your alias as before in ~/.bashrc
(which is then same as /root/.bashrc), or in any file in /etc/profile.d .
My root aliases are in /etc/profile.d/z_<boxname>.sh
