You refer to ISAPI as if it were a stock feature of ProductCart.  IT IS NOT. 
 
Perhaps you are using that ISAPI terminology but are referring to the SEO mod (which DOES NOT use ISAPI-REWRITE for this functionality - it uses a 404 handler):
http://wiki.earlyimpact.com/productcart/seo-urls
 
If that is the case, then no, I do not believe any 301-redirect code exists for existing URLs.  However, Early Impact has stated elsewhere (I cannot find it, perhaps EI will please respond here) their belief that such is unnecessary and will not count as duplicate content.

So being on iis6 and using the 404 handler it can be done so we wont lose our url's already indexed by the search engines.

The "must read" on Duplicate Content is this article on the official Google Webmaster Central blog:

http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2008/09/demystifying-duplicate-content-penalty.html

Specifically: "But most site owners whom I hear worrying about duplicate content aren't talking about scraping or domain farms; they're talking about things like having multiple URLs on the same domain that point to the same content. Like www.example.com/skates.asp?color=black&brand=riedell and www.example.com/skates.asp?brand=riedell&color=black. Having this type of duplicate content on your site can potentially affect your site's performance, but it doesn't cause penalties."

In other words, there is no issue: Google understands that both product pages (with and without the keyword rich URL) point to the same content, that you were not trying to trick anyone, that it is simply that your Web site loads the same content in a couple of different ways, and that there is no issue on your Web store.

The same thing would happen if you had a hard-coded search link (e.g. to load products between $50 and $100) that loads the same list of products as a category. In that case too, nothing to worry about.
