Default Vmc for a single engine airplane

Hangar chatting at the airport today and the question of whether a single engine airplane has a Vmc speed like a multi came up. Any comments/thoughts on the issue? I'm thinking that if you get really slow and cross-controlled, it's possible for the nose to start moving regardless of how much rudder input you have and thus lose directional control, thereby "attaining" Vmc, but does anyone have a more definite answer?
