The one that was recently released and that you perhaps think of is 
called MapProxy and does the reverse - it makes WMS from tiles 
(mapproxy.org). WMS-to-tiles is the simpler operation and can for 
example be done with an UMN mapserver.

Also, Tirex has a WMS backend so you can set up a caching tile server 
that draws its data from a WMS quite easily. The standard Tirex 
installation comes with a demo WMS setup already, you'd basically only 
have to change the URL.
