Yes, it has ! And it works beautifully. I have a working setup of
tor+privoxy that delivers exactly what is expected.

tor         TCP 127.0.0.1:9050 (LISTEN)
privoxy     TCP 10.10.10.1:8118 (LISTEN)


# snip of /usr/local/etc/privoxy/config
#      
#      To chain Privoxy and Tor, both running on the same system, you
#      would use something like:
#      
forward-socks5   /               127.0.0.1:9050 .



I just point my browser to privoxy and it communicates with tor.
