According to BBR.com, he is. He and Bird are also the only players in playoff history to have 2 100+ FTA, 91% FT% seasons.
I'm not sure though. Wiki has listed Bill Sharman there with:

Highest free throw percentage (min. 250 attempts)

* 91.1% by Bill Sharman (370/406)

Any way, Dirk did some amazing stuff this year!
