Yes: http://tools.ietf.org/wg/idr/draft-ietf-idr-bgp4-mibv2/

The work has been discontinued due to lack of interest but recently 
there was an effort to bring it back on track by splitting the one 
gigantic MIB into smaller pieces.

It has been at least partially implemented by some vendors.  We use 
certain features (e.g., v6 BGP neighbor status) of it.

The IDR WG is the right place to look for this.
