There certainly used to be, probably still is available from problem solvers. A decent set of avid speed dial levers is up to the task, probably makes for a nice upgrade, and wouldn't be that much more expensive than travel agents. On my 1993 rockhopper, I did this conversion, and had issues with the rear cable stop. I was never satisfied with the clamp-on stop that I ended up using; it moved too easily on the top tube, and looked ugly. Full-length housing might be the way to go in this scenario, although I haven't tried it.
