I don't think so; well, one possible way to do it is to use a layout which 
takes weights into account (e.g., Fruchterman-Reingold), and then construct a 
weight vector which is large for intra-community edges and small for 
inter-community edges. With some luck (and a nice community structure), the 
weights should take care of pulling the related nodes close to each other.

Best,
