Yes, in fact, there is such an option -- core.fileMode.  From git-config(1):

    core.fileMode
        If false, the executable bit differences between the index and
        the working copy are ignored; useful on broken filesystems like
        FAT. See git-update-index(1). True by default.

See git-config(1) for information on how to change the option per
system, per user, or per repo.
