Yes.. They're called the 'Essentials' package. The savings between the standard set and the Essentials set is only about $30 though.
What the Gear-Up program did was get you 3 extra mags, above & beyond the original 2 that comes with the pistol (so 5 total).
The holster & mag pouch that comes with the XD/XDM line are not top notch, but they're definitely good enough for the range if you frequent a range that lets you draw and fire and are good enough for novice USPSA/IDPA participation.
