Yep, there sure is. Its called time-stamp.el and is part of emacs.
I use this in conjunction with a tempo skeleton to have a "Created Date"
and Last Modified' date in various files. For example
(add-hook 'write-file-hooks 'time-stamp)
(setq time-stamp-active t)
(setq time-stamp-format "%:a, %02d %:b %:y %02I:%02M %#P %Z")
(setq time-stamp-start "\\(Time-stamp:[ ]+\\\\?[\"<]+\\|Last Modified:[
]\\)")
(setq time-stamp-end "\\\\?[\">]\\|$")
(setq time-stamp-line-limit 10)
I have my time stamps at the top of the file, so the last line limits
searching for the time stamp text to the first 10 lines.

Agreed. I also use it and find it a handy feature.

I could be wrong, but I seem to remember org mode does have the ability to
evaluate elisp in display - actually, I think this is how it maintains its
dynamic tables that display task times etc. However, I don't think its
support is quite as flexible as that in planner.
