Not to my knowledge. The two fiber crafts are quite different in the way they create fabric.
A knitting machine differs from knitting by hand only in that multiple hooks are used to hold the live stitches instead of one needle. The stitches are still made sequentially, creating a row of new live stitches.
In crochet, there is only one live stitch. Subsequent stitches are made in a previously finished edge of fabric or in a center point, but only one stitch is "live" at a time. Creating a machine that could be programmed to do the huge variety of crochet patterns would be daunting.
