In 2.5., this is easily possible [scaling_available_frequencies in the
corresponding sysfs directory], for 2.4., there is no such file but one of
the cpufreq daemons has some code in it to detect the speeds nonetheless.
All interfaces to cpufreq are either /proc files - sysctl's [sort of
deprecated] or sysfs files [2.5. only, though]
