Sure.  In your IX file, go to the reference page named IX,
and find the line(s) containing <$pagenum>.  Apply a character
format to that whole line with the properties you want.  Save,
regenerate the IX from the book, and all your page numbers
(but not the index entry text) will have the properties you set.

HTH!
