There is.  It's been suggested several times in the past.  All it takes is
someone willing to maintain/distribute it as in the case of the BGP
distribution of the RBL. 

Unlike the MAPS RBL, participation in the Smurf RBL wouldn't offer any
protection...it just inconveniences the sites blackholed and anyone
wanting to access those sites.
