Yes - check out the very slick MedCalc software at http://www.medcalc.be/ which facilitates comparison of the AUCs for two ROC curves per 2 methods: DeLong et al or Hanley & McNeil.

Does anyone know what is the best test to compare two (or more) ROC curves??

Stata implements a test published by DeLong et al, Biometrics 1988;44:837-845. I am unaware of any other published method - anyone else know?
