No.
You can script around it by making e.g. your build process (which
generated pdf/eps from fig) add a specific foo.pdf etc to .gitignore.
In fact, at the the time you add a fig to your repo you should add (&
commit) corresponding lines to .gitignore. This is the common approach.
Alternatively, you can update your ignore with
rm -f .gitignore;find . -name \*.fig | while read i;do echo -e
${i%fig}pdf "\n" ${i%fig}eps >>.gitignore;done
if you have no other ignore patterns in there. (This is q&d, adjust if
you have spaces in file names or such.)
