Do you mean a full-size desktop-type PCI slot?

If so, no.

Although I do think some brands offer this as an option with their advanced
port replicators.

Yes, however they are not consumer units, and
therefore not easy to find and quite expensive.

Check Dolch, Getac and Itronix.

Do you mean a half-size SLOT or half-size (half-length) BOARD?

As Dan pointed out, the ones that are available aren't your
average find-them-at-CompUSA variety.

What type of laptop do you have, and exactly what are you
trying to do?

The D-Dock docking station for the Dell Latitude (and Inspiron 600m) series
and the docking station for the IBM T40 series and X31 both take half-length
PCI cards. Be sure to get the docking station and not the port replicator.

Well, I seem to recall that IBM offers a docking station for thinkpads which
accepts pci cards; you could only use the card while the laptop was docked
that way.
