No. There is no way to do that. At least, there is no way to do that with beamer
or any TeX software I'm aware of. The pauses just are separate pages in the output PDF. When you display the slides, a pause corresponds to a change from one page of the PDF to the next. So, if you have n pauses on a slide, you need n+1 pages in the PDF. Remove the page breaks and you remove the pauses. These are not distinct things. That is just how the pauses are implemented in the PDF.
EDIT
If you in fact want what Sigur described - that is, the first item on the first slide only, the second on the second slide only and so on - that is straightforward:
\documentclass{beamer}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}{A Title}
\begin{itemize}[<+| alert@+>]
\item This item appears only on the first slide.
\item This item appears only on the second slide.
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\end{document}
This puts the first item only on the first slide and the second item only on the second slide. However, it does this by using two pages in the output PDF:
Using TikZ, some styles, the positioning
, fit
and calc
libraries. Adjust the settings according to your needs:
