No.

I've never done any of this, but I understand that recent Windows
systems (?since NT4?) can enable "Posix file system mode," which
includes case sensitivity. I also understand that this breaks lots
of Windows programs, since they were bred and born case-insensitive.
But I wonder if you can't create a non-boot drive that's POSIX, so
long as you're happy with using only case-sensitive-capable tools on
it. Like, say, Subversion.
