no. 
Not sure if this works, but if you really need to find out, you could
try to put this traffic into a QoS class, use the "drop" directivy in
the appropriate class within a policy-map and monitor the offered rate
using QOS-MIB (not sure if we maintain per-class BW in this case, if
not, a policer with "drop" as conform- and exceed-action will likely
do).
But this MIB is not trivial, and this definitly has a performance impact
(unless you're already doing QoS)..
