You could try uhura. http://github.com/NodeFly/Uhura
I'm the primary contributor to Uhura. We use it at NodeFly to pipe around all our data. It's designed to behave mostly the same as socket.io, but only node clients are support so there's no alternative transports to much about with--just TCP. You can use a redis store to allow you to have more than one server instance, but that is not required. I wouldn't really call that pubsub though. It assumes many clients connecting to one central receiver, while pubsub generally assumes multiple receivers. If want you want is a many-to-many design for something like a service-oriented architecture, you'll probably want some sort of message queue system. It might be worth looking at http://github.com/visionmedia/axon, which is basically a zeromq clone without needing to install a native module.
