Yes, but it's not especially pretty:

eval "module NewModule\n" + File.read("foobar.rb") + "\nend"

or:

module NewModule; end
NewModule.class_eval File.read("foobar.rb")

Note that modules don't actually have to have (constant) names:

mm = Module.new
mm.class_eval File.read("foobar.rb")

But if you do want to create a constant with a dynamic name, there's 
const_set.
