No, but creating one would be cool.  The big gotcha is that said site
would have to build all the packages because that's the only way to
reliably determine their contents.  As such, the site would realisticaly
have to be part of the ports building cluster infrastructure.  Creating
the site and providing a simple interface for adding the file list for a
port what is ready to be turned into a package would be a good start.
