Looks like there should be.

Try 1. Ng4 Rg6 2. Nf6 Kc4 3. Rd5 to start with, then bring the white
king over towards the pawn.

Cheers

Well, it didn't analyze down to mate, but Fritz8 rated the position
at about +8, pretty much a lead-pipe cinch. Since White can usually
win this sort of position with just rook and pawn vs. rook, I would
think he would have an even easier time with an extra knight.
Is there some escape clause for Black?

This is a trivial win for white.

Rook behind the king then move the king over.
