Yes, you could generate the migration-SQL as follows:

Update-Database -Script -SourceMigration:  -TargetMigration: 

To create a script for all migrations execute the following:

Update-Database -Script -SourceMigration: $InitialDatabase

Instead of applying the changes to database it will generate a SQL script file. Therefore you could generate a SQL Script even if the migration was already applied to the database.

Here you could find some more information about it - Entity Framework Code First Migrations - Getting a SQL Script.

Run the Update-Database command but this time specify the –Script flag so that changes are written to a script rather than applied. We’ll also specify a source and target migration to generate the script for.
