This is a platform question.
But no, there's no closing event sent. Eclipse provides mostly
post-activite events ... i.e. on IPartListener2, partClosed(*) is a
post-closing event.
If you write your own presentation, then in theory you could trap your
close events and not send them to the IStackPresentationSite. But this
is a lot of work.

You can provide your own dialog on close, but it will only be shown if the
editor is dirty at the time it is closed. See
ISaveablePart2.promptToSaveOnClose(). However, note that implementing
ISaveablePart2 may lead to many dialogs being opened when you close multiple
editors.
