Not specially. Nominal compounds receive their gender from the last part (the base part). In the lexica I cited, compounds do occur, but -- normally -- (semantically) regular compounds are avoided in such lexica. But I would expect no big change if including more and more compounds in the counts.
For example, I just took the 127,356 most frequent nominal compounds from an older German Wikipedia (2006-11-30) and the distribution is similar:
> > fem masc neut
> > HaGenLex 6409 4702 1723
49.9% 36.6% 13.4%
> > CELEX+HaGenLex 23311 15846 10064
47.4% 32.2% 20.4%
Wikipedia compounds 43.8% 34.4% 21.8%
