Not that I know of. It would definitely be VERY useful (in particular, your scores would no longer be locked in to lilypond, but could be imported to Finale/Sibelius/etc. too). The main problem is that once lilypond has done the layouting, there is no link from the layout objects to the music object. Since MusicXML should also contain the positioning, that would be quite some work (and some deeper restructuring of lilypond) to implement. The easier way would be to export just the music content (of course including all articulations, lyrics, markup, etc., but no layout information). This would require hooking in to the music stream and convert that. Even that is quite some work, and I don't know how well this could be later extended to include the layout information, without having to completely rewrite it from scratch...
