Ken, as far as I know, the only alternate tuning Gord uses is Dropped D. I've watched him play Bitter Green many times, and it's definitely in standard tuning.
I don't get too caught up in playing exactly like Gord. For one thing, my picking style, especially Travis, is a bit different. He mostly uses alternating thumb and two fingers, and I use three fingers on many songs. And sometimes I try to mix in a little lead, even if it's not exactly the same, because I usually play solo, and it just makes the songs more interesting.
