Yes, you can get this from the adminapi:

<cfscript>
        // you must log in before accessing other adminapi components
        adminObj = createObject('component',
'cfide.adminapi.administrator');
        adminObj.login('yourCFAdminPassword');
        
        // create the data object and test the DSN
        dataObj = createObject('component',
'cfide.adminapi.datasource');
        writeOutput(dataObj.verifyDSN('dsnName')); //returns boolean
</cfscript>

I tested shutting down my datasource, and it retured false in about 1-2
seconds in my local environment.
