The answer is yes and no.  

YES - If the resolution was at least 4000x4000, and you had
one-hell-of-a-processor, the pin-cusion effect could be perfectly
eliminated through software (except for missing view areas).  

YES - With a moderatly sophisticated CRT, this can be done from the
front panel.

NO - Not with an M1.

With one exception, a good 3D rendering system should be able to correct
for this even at 320x200.
