I've never seen (or heard of) such an object, but you could
use PD's binary bitwise operators &, |, ~ for this purpose,
giving them suitable constants (2**n) as arguments / right-inlet
inputs.

If you need more bits than will fit into a single t_float
(here on linux seems to be ca. 30 bits), it might be easier
to program an external which handles lists of floats as
long bit-vectors...
