There is, lemme dig out some code I've used in the past.

PHP Code:

$message = ""; // pm body
$title = ""; // pm title
$fromid = ""; // userid of pm sender
$toid = ""; // userid to send pm to

$fromuser = fetch_userinfo($fromid);
$tuser = fetch_userinfo($toid);
$uname = $tuser['username'];
$idu = $tuser['userid'];
$to = "$uname";
$id = "$idu";

$pm =& datamanager_init('PM', $vbulletin, ERRTYPE_STANDARD); 
$pm->set('fromuserid', $fromuser['userid']); 
$pm->set('fromusername', $fromuser['username']); 
$pm->set('title', $title); 
$pm->set('message', $message); 
$pm->set('iconid', 1); 
$pm->set('showsignature', 1); 
$pm->set('allowsmilie', 1); 
$pm->set_recipients($to, $fromuser['permissions']); 
$pm->set('dateline', TIMENOW); 
$pm->save(); 


It's a little messy, but it gets the job done. It could be easily implemented into existing code by a developer.
