Yes and no - the nearside pulls out but on the offside you have to unbolt the support bearing bracket. If you do one side at a time and jack the vehicle up from the side you shouldn't lose any gearbox oil. The driveshafts themselves clip into the gearbox so you you'll need a lever to spring them out - bit of flat bar, large screwdriver or similar.
You can replace the driveshaft oil seals whilst you are there, but mine are 24 years old have covered 442k miles and still don't leak.
