Yes, there is an onboard sensor, 
http://files.ettus.com/uhd_docs/manual/html/dboards.html#xcvr-2450 , but it 
produces HIGHLY inaccurate results. You can access its values with read_rssi().

Just take the stream from the USRP and perform
10*LOG10(DECIMATE(SINGLE_POLE_IIR_FILTER(COMPLEX_TO_MAG**2(SIGNAL))))

via signal processing blocks (this is what Marcus Leech referred me to do, you 
could find that post somewhere in the archives).
