Is it possible to draw boxes around the beamer columns environment and
column within?

\begin{columns} %should be wrapped in a box
\begin{column}{0.3\textwidth} % should also be in a framed boxes

If you want to stay within the beamer ecosystem, you can use blocks

\documentclass{beamer}

\usetheme{warsaw}

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}
\begin{block}{title}
\begin{columns}
\begin{column}{.4\textwidth}
\begin{block}{test}
content...
\end{block}
\end{column}
\begin{column}{.4\textwidth}
\begin{block}{test}
content...
\end{block}
\end{column}
\end{columns}
\end{block}
\end{frame}

\end{document}

If you need something more flexible, use tcolorboxs
