No.

Reimplementing STAC is (AFAIK) forbidden by patent law. There seems to be
a sample (slow and/or not fully compressing) implementation available from
STAC (see www.hifn.com), which in turn seems only be available to north
american human beings.

The only thing in reach seems to be BSD compression and putting it in i4b
and/or sppp is "just" a matter of "just doing it (tm)" ;-)
