Not really. Theoretically there is attributes_get_default_font() to achieve 
this programatically, but there are not many object implementations 
actually using it.

But there is no GUI to switch this default font. And the Dia property 
system has no concept of cascading styles, so the global default does not 
get used when object specific defaults are active.

You may try to compile your own Dia version after modifying 
lib/atrributes.c accordingly (and deleting your ~/.dia/defaults.dia)
