Yep. http://www.cistron.nl/~miquels/radius/ You're looking for "portslave".

On the above mentioned WWW site you can also find my own version of
radiusd, that does a lot of things like radius-2.0 (and more). It
includes a program called "radtest" with which you can test the
RADIUS daemon. There's not much documentation included though.
