Used to be such a tool, but for Oracle Apps (now called eBusiness Suite).
I am afraid it won't be of much help, as there are too many variables:

- what type of website?
- how many hits/second
- will you be using 2 or 3 tier configuration?
- will you be using Webcache?
- will you be using (hardware) load balancing?
- will it be PL/SQL or Java, PHP or yet something else?
- where will the (major portion of the) code be executed?
- etc, etc.

I'd just go ahead, measure and tune, and add more, or possibly change, hardware as you go.
