If you mean you want to test that there is no autocorrelation,
then there is some information on using the Ljung-Box test on
such data in the working paper 'Robustness of the Ljung-Box
test and its rank equivalent' on the Burns Statistics website.

The executive summary is that the test seems to do okay as
long as one of the values is not too dominant.  What 'dominant'
means depends on the length of the series.

If some one has a better answer, I'm keen to hear it.
