Not exactly.  LKET is unique in that it includes tracing commands, not
just data gathering.

Binary data printing per se is available with printf (but I see no
actual documentation on the binary directives %b etc. [whoops!] but at
least there are test cases in src/testsuite/systemtap.printf/bin*).
Decoding could consist of a brief perl script.
