Yes. It seems on rxdos.SF.net are some RxDOS 6.22? source files and RxDOS 7.00? binaries or similar.

The A86 port has the version number a7.1.5. I think it's almost equal to the MASM version 7.1.5, which is the one on the FreeDOS mirrors. RXD_BOOT is better in the A86 port - no unused padding, .COM instead of .EXE file. RxDOSCMD is also a .COM file but I don't know if it changed otherwise. I think the A86 port doesn't have debug information inside the shipped binaries. (The binaries on the FreeDOS mirrors have CodeView information appended.)
