I used Google and didn't find much.

Here's one lead http://www.freedom-motors.com/ Have a look in FAQ.

Also found a report that Norton Rotary engines have been run on diesel, but no details. Maybe they also retained spark ignition.

As with a lot of ideas, a compression ignition rotary probably could be developed, IF the need was great enough to justify the cost.
