No. It is impossible to tell in general. At best you could look for differences from a known official build, assuming no great effort is being made to conceal the fact.
But rooting need not involve any changes to the device at all - with some of the exploits utilized, it's possible to use the exploit to launch a privileged process which then exits. If it hasn't made any lasting change, there's no way to know. And even if there was an API, a rooted device could very easily deny that it was.
