Not via the CAS 1 or 2 protocols.  Authentication method is available
via the SAML protocol, which is supported by recent CAS server
versions and by the most popular clients (Java, phpCAS, Apache, .NET).

Each client provides different methods to access this information.  In
the Java client it's via the CAS assertion attributes.

The mod_auth_cas client supports SAML in versions that have yet to be
released, but it's available in the subversion repository.  We've been
using it informally here at Virginia Tech for about a year now and it
works well.
