Depends how 'akin' you want it to be. In some respects, mainstream Malkionism is closer to gnosticism than it is to mainstream Christianity. Then the Carmanians have that whole dualistic thing going, including a demiurge absent from most forms of Malkionism. The most gnostic sect I can think of off-hand are the Perfecti of Third Age Loskalm, but little canonical has been published about them yet. (They'll probably be in HoM3, when I get around to it, but that's years off).
