Yes, dead simple. You need either the original CD in the drive or an iso image of it. You can then check as many subsequent CDs as you like. There is no easier way, as the written CDs need to be read completely once to check for read errors. An archive of iso md5 sums comes in handy. http://volker.orcon.net.nz/soft/script/md5 http://volker.orcon.net.nz/soft/script/functions_vk.bash For backups, I also use md5 to create a file listing and an md5 sum of each individual file on the CD, and store those in the top-level directory before mastering.
