No; if you understand what the nearest neighbours method does, it's not 
very complicated to implement it from scratch (assuming that your dataset 
is small enough that you don't have to worry too much about optimising 
computing times). A bit of programming experience is required, though. 
(It's not that I intend to do it right now, I suggest that you do it if 
you can...)
