Not when I've looked. Most KVMs were either all PS/2 or all USB, inputs and outputs. Ones that were a converter in the middle were the least common available products, around here. After watching a friend's woes with all USB, all PS/2, and one that converted (three different models and brands), I'm not enamoured with the technology. It seems such a basic thing to do, yet they all managed it so badly. Looking at some of the behaviour of them (dim and flickering indicator lights, oddball behaviour when some PC was off or booting, etc.), I'd say that any KVM that allowed you to power it independently, instead of from the host PCs, might be an improvement. -- (This computer runs FC7, my others run FC4, FC5 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread.)
