not that i found. the least brain-taxing method i found was to
tell acsls to load a tape into a particular drive then
issue something like 
  mt -f /dev/rmt/0cn stat
to see which drive the tape had magically appeared in.

eject tape, then repeat procedure for all tape drives.

maybe there's a better way, but this was easy and it worked.
