Not that I know of, and on that, I ask: Why would you want to? For full control you need 6 keys for movement, 8 for your skills, at least 1 or 2 for targeting, then you have to use the chat window... It'd be severely limiting.
GW isn't design with pads in mind...

In order to use a PS2 type controler first you will need some way to hook it up to your computer, then you will need a "keyboard emulation program" that will allow you to map the keys on the pad to the keyboard keys that you will use. This does not always work with every game so be careful and please read up on everything before using it.

I use an n52 in addition to the keyboard and it is nice:
