Nope, but other Surly frames do. Among those, the Cross-Check is suited to light touring, and the Long Haul Trucker is a proper touring frame. Both have front rack braze-ons and derailer hangers. If the OP is at all serious about loaded and/or extended touring down the line, I'd strongly suggest frames along these lines. Even if the touring turns out to be suited to singlespeed, the mounting eyelets/braze-ons and geometry are going to leave you with far fewer headaches and backaches.
