No, but it isn't that expensive, either. Another (free) alternative, 
as has been mentioned before is Linux and linuxcnc. You would have to 
become familiar with Linux if you haven't used it (I haven't), but it 
should be pretty easy if you are only using it for one program.

I just ordered a 3 axis controller on ebay ($42 USD including 
shipping), though I think I could use the parts from the on-board 
controller to make my own controller, especially if I use the parallel port.
