No, the decision to markup log messages or not happens before the template
gets involved.

There's a section of source code file lib/viewvc.py, in a function named
build_commit(), which reads like so:

  if found_unreadable:
    commit.log = None
    commit.short_log = None
  else:
    lf = LogFormatter(request, desc)
    htmlize = (format != 'rss')
    commit.log = lf.get(maxlen=0, htmlize=htmlize)
    commit.short_log = lf.get(maxlen=cfg.options.short_log_len, htmlize=htmlize)

I wonder ... what happens if you change the line that assigns the 'htmlize'
variable to read like so:

    htmlize = 1

?

That might do the trick for you.  (If you try it out, let us know the results!)
