Not one that I know of.

But I think you should save your *work* as .xcf anyway.

All other image formats are for what you want to do with the images after 
having them processed with Gimp.  If you switch to using .xcf as you primary 
file format and only export to .png (or whatever) if you are done with your 
work, you won't lose anything.
