There is not.  We (actually, Magnus Hagander) wrote our own mailing list
manager and decided early on that digests were not on the list of
requirements.  Rather the opposite: replies coming from people that
consume the digest versions are typically horrible (because they tend to
quote the entire *digest* rather than just the entire *message* they
reply to), threading no longer works, etc.
