Not yet.

There are one-offs around, and you can buy conversion units--a cable-actuated master cylinder. But drop bar levers with integrated master cylinders aren't yet on the market. Expect the first ones to appear in 2014 and to be fairly expensive, as all newly-introduced technology is.

I've been using Avid BB7 (road) calipers with Shimano road levers on my four-seasons commuter for seven years now. Maybe I don't know what I'm missing, but it's a combination that I'm completely satisfied with. I'm not sure what all the fuss is about with hydros.
