There is, quite certainly. The (Japanese) Carbon Emacs (Package)
contains some extra ELisp files, that do some font manipulation. I
never tried to understand what they're doing, but they need to do
some adjustments that CJK glyphs can be combined with Latin ones,
which probably is a common case. But: they don't work perfectly in
case faces are mixed (regular with variants).

There is one big problem with this approach: the development for Mac
OS X has stopped. Carbon Emacsen are based mostly on stable GNU Emacs
code, i.e. GNU Emacs 22.1 (or 22.2?). Emacs.app is based on 23.0.60
code.
I've seen that both Carbon Emacs and the Cocoa Emacs.app support the
typical Mac OS X font panel. From this you can choose also
"Typographical Features" that some fonts have. Changes made here, for
example more or less space between characters, are not applied to the
frame, and neither colour or shadow. This looks as if some parts of
ATSUI are not fully enabled ... I'd wish it was, because some mono-
spaced fonts seem to have incorrect values recorded for some
dimensions and some adjustment by hand would be fine.
