You mean the Gl one that flips the words in laterally?  There's one like
that in the RSS GLX package, and it integrates nicely into the
Xscreensaver package.  I set it to grab the LiveJournal new-posts feed
and it spews nicely anti-aliased lines of teenage angst on my screen
just like the Mac one does.
