I am not a gitk user, but AFAIK, no. Gitk uses "--boundary" to ask git for the bottom boundary of each string of commits. There is unfortunately no "--no-boundary" option to override this (and I just tried adding one, and it doesn't seem to work; gitk is perhaps too aggressive in the way it passes along --boundary).

So I think it would require a patch to gitk.
