No.
But you could handle PrepareViewStyleInfo, and set e.Style.HorizontalAlignment dynamically. If you have explicitly set the CellValueType for your numeric cells, you could test e.Style.CellValueType to determine how to set the alignment. If you have not set the CellValueType, you could try parsing e.Style.Text to see if it parses as a number to test what is in the cell.
