No but there's this:

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Boundaries.pl

It generates .poly files from relations. The .poly files are basically 
text files with a list of lat/lons and I guess they could be converted 
quite easily into something else. In fact, if you do a little bit of 
Perl you could use the shapelib to create shapefiles directly from above 
script.
