No, there is no call that does this, but you could traverse the
scenegraph, extract all colors from the materials, and replace the
material colors with shades of grey.

It gets a little more interesting if you have lighting disabled in
particular geostates and specify colors per-vertex. In this case, you have
to go through the color array on the geosets with those geostates and
modify all colors to be greyscale as well.

Take a look at the documentation for indexed pfGeoStates (man pfGeoState
and pfChannel). This mechanism allows you to easily swith between your
color and greyscale geostates on the fly.
