Yes: http://pcb.geda-project.org/pcb-4.2.0/pcb.html#SetThermal-Action

  SetThermal(Object|SelectedPins|SelectevVias|Selected, Style)

  Set the thermal (on the current layer) of pins or vias to the given
  style.  Style = 0 means no thermal. Style = 1 has diagonal fingers
  with sharp edges.  Style = 2 has horizontal and vertical fingers with
  sharp edges. Style = 3 is a solid connection to the plane. Style = 4
  has diagonal fingers with rounded edges. Style = 5 has horizontal and
  vertical fingers with rounded edges.

So selecting the relevant pins and running

  SetThermal(SelectedPins, 3)

should do the trick.

IIRC there is also a default binding which cycles through the thermal
styles but I can never remember what it is.

Cheers,
