Not as a stock item.

But a common technique is to use a continuous linear pot with a centertap, and ground the centertap. It changes the resistance-to-rotation profile from being two rheostats to two potentiometers, but the grounded centertap does isolate the two halves of the element. Depending on the nature of the signals, and isthe transition could be detectable to give a signal when the wiper crosses over.
