Nope. There are a few packages in the OI2 CVS under 'extra_packages' 
(at least the 'wiki' package is unfinished though).

The problem is that OI has most often been used as an internal 
application server. So people write intranet applications but don't 
release them because there's too much company-specific code -- and 
because there's always too much to do.

That said, the fact that there's no repository doesn't help. But since 
you can now distribute OI2 applications as CPAN packages you'll 
hopefully see more soon.
