Not yet, not that I know of.

I don't think they will be of any much use for you, unless your
machine has a hardare parallel port.  The STK200 was a very simple
bit-bang style programmer that attached directly to a parallel port.

Use some STK500-style programmer together with a USB to RS-232
converter.  Some of them (my favorite one is the do-it-yourself USBisp
from Matthias Weißer) have the USB converter chip already mounted on
the programmer.
