No, there isn't, but it would not be hard to do. Edit 
Block::_findVariables (where varobj create is called for local 
variables) to apply a preference defined in prefs.tcl to set the format 
for the variables when they're created (or perhaps just after?). 
Something like "$obj format [pref get gdb/variable/default_format].

If you get to it before I do, send me a patch. Takes about 5 min to 
actually do this. The tough part is exposing this preference somewhere...
