Yes... you basically have to configure it to use a font where the bold
and regular faces are sufficiently different...

After failing to find any TrueType fonts for which this is true, I've
now copied the X11 bitmap Helvetica fonts into /usr/share/fonts, then
(with some help from sonne on #evolution) configured Evolution to use
them by putting the following in ~/.gtkrc-2.0:

style "user-font-in-tree"
{
        font_name = "Helvetica 9"
}
widget_class "*EStorageSetView*" style "user-font-in-tree"
class "*EStorageSetView*" style "user-font-in-tree"
widget_class "*ETree*" style "user-font-in-tree"
class "*ETree*" style "user-font-in-tree"
