No, in large part because ICM refuses to identify their supporters in any meaningful way, and the vast, vast majority of those supporters don't appear to be in any hurry to definitively identify themselves. The expressions of support posted during the public comment periods are generally not accompanied by any sort of identifying information that can be confirmed.
Frankly, if supporters of .XXX are for it only because they believe they stand to make money off of it, that rationale makes more sense to me than any of the others I've heard as reasons why it should be supported. It's still a belief that is difficult for me to fathom, though, since the IFFOR "best practices" that will set the rules for operating a .XXX site have not been published yet, so nobody -- not supporters of .XXX, not detractors of .XXX, not ICANN, not even Stuart Lawley -- knows what the rules of the .XXX road will be.
