Yes this is easily doable.

When you start emc2 and it loads the hostmot2 driver modules, it logs 
(in the syslog) the connector/pin and "IO numbers" it's using.  It'll 
look something like this:

IO Pin 048 (P4-01): Stepgen #0, pin Step (Output)
IO Pin 049 (P4-03): Stepgen #0, pin Dir (Output)

 From this you can take the IO pin number for your Dir signal (049 in 
this example) and invert the signal on that pin with a HAL command like 
this:

setp hm2_5i20.0.gpio.049.invert_output 1
