Yes.

Use something like

if ($arg_title != "") {
return 302 http://mysite.com/$arg_title;
}

inside the "location = /index.php" block, and then continue with whatever
should happen if $arg_title is empty.

I suspect that "try_files $uri /$uri /index.php;" might be enough for
what you ask for here; if it isn't, then a description of what you do,
what you see, and what you expect to see, will probably make it easier
to understand where the problem is. (Your fastcgi-related configuration,
and the php code itself, will determine whether it is enough.)

If you search for nginx + your-php-application, do you see any
documentation on how to create SEF URLs? It may be easier than me
guessing here.
