I don't know of one, but you could start with any 7-segment VFD clock kit. These tubes have grids, so they can be multiplexed. That's why my idea for a giant IV-26 clock never went anywhere - no control grids, so you need a driver output for every dot.
You'll probably need to tweak (or buffer) the clock's segment and grid drivers, and you'll likely need an AC filament supply (these tubes are so big that there's an obvious brightness gradient when using a DC filament supply).
