Performing release using maven2 with SNAPSHOT build configuration

Hi all,
  I have teamcity set up to perform builds on my maven projects when a dependency is updated, or when source is checked in.  This works great, but I have one problem.  We're using teamcity for all our C# apps, and I'd like to continue our release process with our Java maven 2 processes.  Is it possible to perform a release with the same build configuration we use to create our automatic snapshot deployments?

Thanks,
Todd
