Yes; it appears to be added as a plugin to our tiled renderer.

It was done previously (at the request of the geotools user list) but dropped
when the same user list did not volunteer to take part.
The direct port is still available here:
- http://svn.osgeo.org/geotools/branches/2.5.x/modules/unsupported/tile/
The design (and many of the classes) are the same as what is in uDig currently.
The general plan is to figure out what tiles are on the screen, and submit them
into a queue. In the background one or more threads can fetch tiles; and send
events when they are ready (trigging the screen to redraw).
The tiles themselves are treated as a series of grid coverages for rendering;
this is kind of nice as it allows them to be reprojected into a different
co-ordinate reference system if needed for display.
The work that has happened since that fork as been support for additional kinds
of tile servers.
