  Not that I know of. I've done a workflow where we used Maya to rig and animate. Then did a geometry cache to export the animation to 3DS Max.

  If you export as an fbx or send the scene the max it will convert all the joints to helpers, which are skinned and act like bones, none of the constraints will transfer over. I'm sure it's possible to clean it up but it seems like it would be easier to just rig it in max at that point.
  
  Maybe another user here has a work around.
