Yes, there is: The lugnet.cad.dat.ideas group collects LEGO design
components in LDraw format. The group is archived and browseable here:
http://www.lugnet.com/news/display.cgi?lugnet.cad.dat.ideas
Later in the year, all of the postings will be organized by topic and
interlinked with DBs, searchable & browseable by element and other factors.
There is also a group for posting full-blown complicated models, which will
later be integrated with the LUGNET sets-DB. And there is also a group for
complex scenes or meta-models.
Here is a sitemap for the .DAT sub-hierarchy:

These groups will also be on a very friendly basis with www.ldraw.org, which
the L-CAD group is putting together.
