For now, not really.

You could try Realtime Channels patch I just mentioned here:
http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/2008-May/211136.html

This should give you up-to-date list of channels in database, so you can use

SELECT * FROM channels WHERE state="Ring";

to get currently ringing channels.

If You find this patch useful, please add a comment to issue
http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=12556
that you would like to see Realtime status implemented in future
versions of Asterisk.

Regards,
Atis
