No, nothing like that currently exists.  The master branch in git (that
will become 3.1.0) currently outputs log numbers with comma groupings,
but it would be much better to only do that if the user requests such a
thing.

The attached patch adds an apostrophe modifier to log escapes that lets
the user request numerical grouping, human-readable units of 1000, or
human-readable units of 1024; e.g. "%''l".  The patch will not work with
3.0.x, though.
