Not really, unless you're referring to code for specific enclosure hotplug controllers; the code in Linux is of course GPL encumbered. Some other things need to change in the PCI code for this to really be possible (multiple PCI nexus instances, for example, and the ability to renumber the buses correctly when a new bus is plugged in).
