I've seen two (so there are possibly more).  One is called SteVIe and is a
port from the Atari ST by E. Horton.  It doesn't use Standard File (open
files just like you would in the "real" vi) and the "undo" is broken; however,
it is an excellent vi clone -- best of all it is PD.  The second is the Z
editor that runs in the Aztec C shell development environment.  To my way of
thinking this is not as good since it both costs and is not a standalone.
