There is viewer software that does this. On the desktop Okular is one example, and there are probably others. I seem to recall that the PRS-500 does this (or perhaps the initial PRS-505 firmware), because there were complaints when Adobe Digital Editions on the PRS-505 did not have this option. The PDF reader on the Hanlin also crops the margins as its first "zoom" level.
One problem with on-the-fly cropping is that headers and footers can't easily be cropped and different pages get cropped differently if the algorithm is applied per page (and if not, left vs right pages can cause problems since they often need different cropping).
