Yes, theoretically when a soil is in the process of consolidating, OCR can be less than 1. This would come into play if you were to apply an additional load to a soil while it was still in the process of consolidating under a previous load. For example, if you place a fill as a building pad, waited some time (but less than full consolidation) and then constructed a building on the fill. In this case the soil would be underconsoldiated at the time the building was built. But this is mostly just an interesting academic discussion. Not particularly important from a practical standpoint.
