AFAIK, no.  The easiest way I know to recreate it is to simply redraw the 
schematic in question.  I have libraries for a lot of M-series modules, 
the relevant connectors, etc.  It wouldn't be that hard to create an R/S 
series library, and then use that to redraw the 8/S or straight-8.  It 
is many hours of somewhat tedious work, though.  (I did it for the TC08.)

Once it is redrawn, one can export the netlist, and I even have some Perl 
to convert that into wire lists suitable for wire-wrap :-).
