Unlikely.  Java doesn't know about Unix systems stuff, and
crypto stuff is hard to export.

In Cryptix 3.0.3 there is a crypt program, which implements
the DES variant (from memory).  It doesn't do the hash
variant of crypt, but that is probably implemented with
MD5 and that is also included if you fancy hacking around.
