As it happens, "yes and no". There is now a small group working on
Ess for Debian/Ubuntu, but there is no Ubuntu repository.
But as the package is not binary, you can just fetch the most current
Debian version (by hand). The package tracking (PTS) page is at
http://packages.qa.debian.org/e/ess.html
and the pool is at
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/e/ess/
Just grab the file from there; if you install with my favourite frontend wajig you can just do
$ wajig install http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/e/ess/ess_5.3.8~svn3902-1_all.deb
