I suspect it will. If you look at this 2008 Capital Improvement Program on page 5

it says the east concourse will be extended 600 feet to allow for nine new gates. The fact that the current plans only call for seven new gates instead of nine leads me to believe that the gates will be spaced further apart, allowing for bigger aircraft.
