Yes there is, it's non-standard and DIN sync already uses those "free" pins.

Is there any problem with making your own cable to break out into MIDI+power 
at either end?  If it has to be a single connector please make it something 
other that DIN-5/180° (or anything else that folks would commonly have 
around on stage) so that it's clear it is non-standard.
