Depends. If the light source is accessible, you could just insert a colored filter to compensate, between the light and the film. Or, if the camera uses a standard lens, a screw-on filter would do it as well.
As for an LED, you can build a pretty nice RGB setup with some time and an Arduino. We're rebuilding an old Imagica scanner with totally new sensor and light source, and the LED array I built for it uses RGB for color and IR for a dust map:

https://flic.kr/p/rw5wCQThis is a prototype, and goes inside of a 3D printed lamphouse that has a reflective interior surface. The light then goes through a holographic diffuser before hitting the film. The idea with this design is that from the Arduino, we can easily tweak the color, because each color of the RGB LEDs (the white ones on the circuit board) can be turned on and off independently, and its intensity can be adjusted.
So you could compensate for the orange cast in the light source this way.
