Yes.

in app_voicemail.c, you've already found the #define, but you might also 
want to add:

                 fchmod (txtdes, 0660) ;

after line 2615.

ie. before the comment line:

                   /* Now play the beep once we have the message number for our next message. */

You also need to edit app.c: round about line 600, change:

 	others[x] = ast_writefile(recordfile, sfmt[x], comment, O_TRUNC, 0, 0700);

into:

 	others[x] = ast_writefile(recordfile, sfmt[x], comment, O_TRUNC, 0, 0660);

Enjoy!

(I did this to enable a web based php voicemail system to work without 
requiring it to be suidperl - I'm guessing you're doing sometime similar!)
