No, there is nothing built-in for Dateobjects, but there are a bunch of libraries to deal with and format them:

• date.js
• moment.js
• XDate
• Date and Date.Extras in Mootools
• Date in Sugar
• Dojo.date
• a few functions in Mochikit
• DateFormat (only PHP's date)
• date at php.js
• DataType in YUI, especially for i18n
• date-functions.js, used especially by JQuery datetimepicker plugin
