Not officially, but Ken DEGUCHI is providing 0.8.18 as overlay.

　https://github.com/kdeguchi/compiz-reloaded-ports

As I'm using another overlay for mozc with textproc/fcitx5 supports,
and I'm using ports-mgmt/poudriere-devel (bare metal builds for
post-installkernel and anytime I cannot wait for massive poudriere
rebuilds after OSVERSION bump (even for least significant digit!),
I have below in my /etc/make.conf.
The specified directories are where I'm pulling in his overlays.

## Ports overlays to apply.
## Need commenting out on building using poudriere with -O option,
## so use conditional to defile only if poudriere is not in use.
.ifndef POUDRIERE_BUILD_TYPE
OVERLAYS=	/usr/local/overlays/kdeguchi/mozc-ports \
		/usr/local/overlays/kdeguchi/compiz-reloaded-ports
.endif

Overlay for Mozc is provided here.

I've written an article below about my set-ups for poudriere,
including some description about overlays.
