Kenko made one that came with a finder. It had numbers on the finder that corresponded to the same position on the filter, so it was easy to make the adjustments. I've haven't seen them for sale in a long while though, even used.
Short answer is no. However (back in the day) this was the simplest solution. Get two identical polarizers. On identical spots put 4 marks 90 degrees apart. Now put one polarizer on the lens and one on a string around your neck. Put the one on the string up to your eye, turn it to get the effect you want, and then transfer that setting to the one on your camera.
Cumbersome but works better than most other methods.

The above works, but you don't really need four spots. There is typically a triangle on one part of the PL filter and since you only need 180° rotation you should be able to match it up.
I also use the "Kenko PL Finder [R]" which seems to be still available (just checked Yodobashi in Tokyo). Again you don't need the matching PL filter, just match the triangles (as seen between the 6 & 7 on the image below).
