Can I buy just the front brake?

I have a mountain bike frame that doesn't have a mount for disk brakes
on the rear but I can put one on the front. I'd love to put an XTR setup
on but can I buy just the front disk setup without having to pay for the
rear as well?

Yes, but you may find it quite expensive.

Alternatively you could buy both, and sell the rear on ebay.

The XTR disc brake lever has only available in the dual control model
for a couple of years (until the 2007 stuff hits the shelves.)

What you really want is Juicy 7

You could probably get just the caliper and then the standard shimano
hydro brake lever to run it.

Unless you are trying to be a weight weinie a deore hydro will do the
job just as well.

Disc brakes are for w*nkers - just ask Lotte.

I have front and rear discs *accompanied by furious wrist action*

I think her view is that they are OK, as long as you have "earned"
them. So when I showed up for my 2nd ever ride in the bush with front
and rear discs and a mainly LX with XT derailleurs, she [possibly quite
accurately] identified me as a ******.

Hmm.. ah well, it's a bent, so I have no cred to lose!
