We do offer tools for helping to make your WordPress.org experience as awesome as WordPress.com. Jetpack supercharges your website with features like blog follow, easy video embedding, stats, and Twitter and Facebook sharing tools. VaultPress provides realtime, continuous backup and scans your website for security and performance.
More information on both can be found at these links:

Once you've installed Jetpack, we can move the blog followers from your WordPress.com blog to your self-hosted WordPress.org site.
