Yes, but it's not a port, x86 support was never taken out :-)
To find targets in the uClinux-dist that use x86 you should be able to
run something like:
grep -l i386/config.arch vendors/*/*/config.arch

Xcopilot
ARMulator
Skyeye
qemu (runs dist compiled x86 images fine as well).

At a guess I would say a lot of people develop on there host systems and then
move the code to the embedded system when done. As long as your
remember your uClinux system has no MMU you can write code to easily run
on both.
Others have the embedded systems so well oiled it's quicker to
write/load/debug directly on the board.
