Sure:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (defun esf/filter-checkbox-list-items (line backend channel)
    (if (eq backend 'latex)  
        (replace-regexp-in-string "\\\\item \\$\\\\\\(square\\|boxtimes\\)\\$" "\\\\item [$\\\\\\1$]" line)))
  
  (add-to-list 'org-export-filter-plain-list-functions 'esf/filter-checkbox-list-items)
#+end_src

It took a while to suss out the number of backslashes... :)
