Yes, there is:

rasterText[s_, bg_:None] :=
 With[{r = Rasterize[Style[s, Magnification -> 10], Background ->
bg]},
  Apply[Graphics3D[{EdgeForm[], Texture[r],
      Polygon[{{0, 0, 0}, {#1, 0, 0}, {#1, #2, 0}, {0, #2, 0}},
       VertexTextureCoordinates -> {{0, 0}, {1, 0}, {1, 1}, {0,
          1}}]}] &, ImageDimensions[r]]]

Show[rasterText[Style["This is a text", FontFamily -> "Times"]],
 Lighting -> "Neutral", Boxed -> False]

The only problem is that Mathematica doesn't allow us to use
transparent textures, so the 3D text will be on a solid background.

In Fred's bitmap solution, you can have what amounts to a transparent
background, but at the expense of a large polygon count.
