There isn't one currently, but we could add one.  wp.getPageTemplates  
perhaps?

Adding a page_template field to wp.editPage could accommodate that.   
This field could also be provided wp.getPage and friends.

Please write up these ideas in a ticket at http:// 
trac.wordpress.org/.  If you have any patches that would be great, if  
not, that is fine too.  We are pushing towards a release next month  
and I'm trying to get another project finished up so I don't have a  
good timeline on when these features would go in.  We'll do our best.
