No.
However, there is a hidden preference that allows *indexing* html in raw text form instead of rendered form. This implies that you won't be able to search rendered html text anymore. And this is a global option (and not a per index one).
To enable it, quit FoxTrot, copy and paste the two following lines to a Terminal.app window, then relaunch FoxTrot, and rebuild your index.
defaults write com.ctmdev.foxtrot Aliases -array-add \
"{type='html'; as='txt';}"
To reset the default behavior, copy and paste this command, and rebuild your index:
defaults delete com.ctmdev.FoxTrot Aliases
