No, there isn't.  However, most of the supposedly unique features of
AdvFS are available with FreeBSD.  As far as I recall, the ones that
aren't supported are: 
 - "never" needing an fsck after a crash
 - graphical user interface for administration
 - undelete

Many features attributed to AdvFS by its documentation are supported
in FreeBSD by system components other than the filesystem.
