No.

Not directly to support this, but in the future I would like bundles  
to automatically be reloaded when changed on disk -- this will allow  
scripts/commands to change and add stuff at run-time. For example a  
script could update a language grammar, and TM would know.

Create an entirely new language grammar and have that one include the  
default one. Then set your files to use the custom grammar instead of  
the official.
