Yes, there is. NEC 210.52(A)(1) defines required outlet placement within a
"wall space", and 210.52(A)(2)(1) explicitly states that "wall spaces" are
delimited by doorways and other similar openings.

Also, according to Knight (and the CEC) you also count the space
occupied by the door itself when fully open as part of the doorway.

So you can put an outlet 6' from the edge of the door (nearly 9' from
the doorway proper and still be code compliant.

That does not appear to be the case with the U.S. NEC, however.
