No, in fact the diffraction is worse with a small sensor and high megapixel, but on the 5Dmkii I see it degrade a bit at f13 and see F16 as the last useable stop.
We (at least me) are talking about diffraction limiting the resolution per image height. If you scale the pictures to the same resolution, sensor size is unimportant when it comes to diffraction at a certain DOF.
Edit: A smaller format could sometimes be better though, because of lens characteristics. Stopping down an FF f/2.8 lens to f/22 could give less good results than an f/2.8 4:3 lens @ f/5.6. But that isn\'t about diffraction.
