Not that I know of.

Typically, usb floppy drives come as a single unit. The only usb drive
enclosure I know of is for ide drives (maybe scsi too), but in either
case the answer is no. The only way you'd be able to get a 5.25 floppy
drive into a usb enclosure is if the enclosure had a floppy interface,
and if you were able to get hold of a floppy ribbon that still had the
old card-slot floppy connectors on it.
