Yes, acutually ginkgo is a 5-ht2a antagonist. I think recalling reading that it decreases the binding of serotonin to 2a receptors by about 33%.
The tricylics, cypreheptadine, atypical antipsychotics, marajuanna, anandamide, also have some degree of 5-ht2 antagonism (mostly 5-ht2a antagonism). Oh, and the herb feverfew blocks 5-ht2a and 5-ht2b fairly potently.
