No, unfortunately there isn't.

You can convert all tabs in your sources to 3-space-boundaries with "expand
-3", and xdb will display what you'd expect to see.  Before editing the
file, this can be reversed:  "unexpand -3".  See the expand(1) man-page.

We have this problem on file as an enhancement.
