nope.  
requires spectral analysis and some math, and probably heuristics to get it to really function.
take a look at the cnmat externals, if you're up to the challenge.

better off creating your own tap tempo mechanism (bang -> timer -> !/60000, probably throw in some averaging math as well).

if you're just dealing with loops, then it's much easier to get the bpm upon loading the file.
