Not a package deal, but the first two which come to mind are:
Surly Nice Rack, front and rear.
Nitto Mark's Rack, which can be used front or rear.

racks
The various models of Nitto racks will match. Don't know of any discounts for buying both at one time, however. The Nitto M-12 is a great front rack that doesn't have much competition. Nitto makes several different models of rear racks that match it in appearance. You can find them at Ben's Cycles, Rivendell and a few other places.

As of last week Nashbar was having a sale and I noticed a nice front rack for only $29. It was black and my current on is black and for me, that's a match! https:\www.nashbar.com

well, it depends, do you want matching for appearance or cost? Also, what do you want these racks to do?
If you want two pretty matching racks for major hauling, I suggest the nitto big front and rear racks
Simply because I think they look prettier than the Surly racks. Both great quality, although the Surly racks look a little more overbuilt, if that's your thing.
If you want matching racks that look pretty for a small load, look no further than the Velo-Orange Constructeur racks
the rear looks almost exactly the same. These are perfect if you want a handlebar bag and a trunk, or maybe small painners, but don't want the weight of a full touring setup.
if cheap is your goal, then nashbar is your friend. for a small front load, the nashbar front rack NA FRR is hard to beat
and it blows the Nitto m12 out of the water, by virtue of costing 1/10 as much
The Nashbar lowrider rack is also good, being a straight copy of the Blackburn racks.
As for a rear rack, I've been impressed with the Bor Yeuh I bought, It's held up remarkably well for such a cheap rack.
