Not really I'm afraid. Adding reverb is easy because you're basically creating a slight echo taking the original sound file and overlapping it a hair off the original. Taking Reverb out is a lot harder because the sound is overlapped and overlaid (overlayed?) and trying to separate and merge...is a bitch of a physics challenge.
Only thing you can really try is use the parametric EQ (in Final Cut Pro or Soundtrack), and pump up the gain and play with the frequency settings until you hear the boominess really get obnoxiously high (you're trying to find the frequency that closely matches the boominess of the reverb versus the frequency of the sound you want to keep - and find a happy medium). Then cut the gain to remove. It doesn't get rid of reverb but takes some of the muddiness out.
