Yes, it is possible. I've written an AppleScript to do it. You can even use the Fit method to do it if it is permitted in the UI (there's lots of restrictions). 

Or, you can do it by examining the content and adjusting the visible bounds accordingly. 

Depends how fancy you want to be. 

For instance, if all you want to do is eliminate slop at the bottom of the frame, all you need do is look at the last baseline of the frame, take into account the offset and the stroke weight and then adjust the bottom coordinate. (Actually, if you have fancy corners, it's a little more complicated -- although the Fit command in the UI ignores this possibility, as does my script.)
