yes, easily. Just pass it the commit id. And unlike cvs, there is one
diff for the patch, not one for every file ;)
For example:
http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=d3359020ef7e0fba02ac552d88ede0c3ce5128cc
turning it into context-diff style will require patching gitweb
though, it doesn't do that by default.
