Not necessarily, warm air holds more moisture than cold air, wherever there is a cold/warm interface (tent wall) you will get condensation (that's one benefit of double glazing insulation in a house, stops the dripping wet windows of pre-double glazing days, the warmer it was the wetter it got!), a heater of any kind will provide comfort from the cold, but that's it.
Only way of improving things is ventilation to get rid of the overly humid air (some tents do have quite good ventilation points, but people don't always open them properly), but that makes for a potentially chillier/drafty tent. Coated (PU coated Polyester) tent fabrics can't 'breath' so moisture levels build up and condense, Cotton/Poly-Cotton tents are much better as fabric 'breaths' to release moisture. There is always going to be some humidity inside a tent, the human body loses between 40 and 90 grams of water per hour by sweat and exhalation even when not exercising.
Good housekeeping goes a long way to improving situation, if you have the option (ie. separate porch area), don't bring wet clothing, towels etc. into main body/sleeping areas of tent, and don't cook in main body of tent.
