Sure there is:

(defvar hex-display-table-prefix "\\")
(defvar hex-display-table-suffix nil)

(defvar hex-display-table
  (let ((table (make-display-table))
        (char ?\x00))
    (while (<= char ?\xFF)
      (unless (equal char ?\n)
        (aset table char (vconcat hex-display-table-prefix
                                  (format "%02X" char)
                                  hex-display-table-suffix)))
      (setq char (1+ char)))
    table))

(setq buffer-display-table hex-display-table)
