As Lou said Colorthink, and probably other utilities, can do just
that. Also, if you load your monitor profile into proof setup with
gamut warning on you will be able to see if there are colors in your
file outside the monitor gamut. Or, if you prefer, convert to the
print space then do the same test.

There are clearly colors, even with the Ultrachrome inks, that fall
outside monitor gamut in tests here. There are even a few yellows
outside the AdobeRGB space.
There was a famous on line debate between Jon Cone and David Tobie
years ago about the need (or not) to work in ColorMatch so the monitor
could easily show file gamut.
There are advantages to increasing monitor gamut, as many who jumped
on the Sony Artisan bandwagon reprted.
