Not that I know of.

For C Git: BeycondCompare can do this easily, but it's only available for Windows and Linux on intel/amd (might be possible to use with wine) and carries a small fee, but
it's worth every cent.
It is also possible to define a textconv filter that massages the data before presenting it to the diff tool. See gitattributes(5). EGit does not yet support gitattributes,
but there is some work going into that direction. https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/1614 if you want to help.
