We wrote one :)

http://www.zope.org/Members/noa/SpellChecker - it should be up there soon.

It may be insecure, requires ispell, and it's VERY ugly (my and Noa Harvey's
first Zope creation) but it works!

The way it works - add a spellchecker object at the top level, with id
"speller", then for a form called "addform" with a textarea named "subtitle"
you use this DTML command:

<dtml-spellchecker href="/speller" form="addform" input="subtitle">

to print out a spell checker button.
