Only partly - we have had this problem too.  The following allows you
to control shape (but not color except for certain shapes).  The
hardware cursor must be disabled and a software cursor allowed.

Here's an example from XF86Config for RH9:

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Videocard0"
        Driver      "nv"
        VendorName  "Videocard vendor"
        BoardName   "NVIDIA GeForce 2 MX (generic)"
        Option      "hw cursor" "off"
