Yes and it can be done by one person - I've done it several times. See ASCII
art below.

Temporarily secure 3 sections of 2x4 (about 12" long) to the outside of the
footer, one near each end, one near the center. These "Keepers" for lack of
a better term will keep the wall from sliding off the base while you're
raising it. They also align the wall with the outside edge of the flooring.

Before raising the wall, temporarily secure another 12" long chunk of 2x4
scrap to the floor about 5' out from the edge and centered on the wall. This
stop will be used to hold an 8' long 2x4 brace that you secure to the center
stud of the wall once it is raised. With the footer of the wall placed
against the keepers, raise the wall, grab the brace, jam it against the
stop, hold the wall vertical and secure the brace to the wall. That keeps it
from falling back to the floor but keep hold of it and drive a screw thru
each of the keepers into a wall stud to keep the wall from falling the other
way. Be sure to secure the brace to the floor with a long screw too.

Now, with the wall fairly secure, you can add other bracing to hold that
wall. Don't add any bracing on the end of the wall that is adjacent to the
next wall you'll be raising. When you raise the next wall, you do the same
but now it's easier since you have one wall to use as a tie-in to help hold
the 2nd wall. With 2 walls up and temporarily secure, go ahead and readjust
the bracing as needed to get the walls vertical.

When raising the walls, your hands are pretty full and there's no way you
can check vertical with a level - so eyeball it during the raising and tweak
it later. Obviously you have to do some prep work and have the brace (8' or
longer 2x4) at a point where you can bend down and grab it while you're
holding the wall, have your drill and screws handy etc.

Now - to address your concern about lifting the wall. Build the walls on
the floor, laid out in the direction they are to be raised. The footer of
the wall you're building will be parallel to the edge it will be secured to.
The whole wall is made on the floor and all you have to do is raise it up.
You're not having to carry the wall anyplace.

Do the short wall first (12'), then the adjacent 16' long wall, then the
other 12' and 16' walls. Once you get started, use the keepers and the
bracing and you'll see it's harder to describe how to do it than doing it.
