For some simple ones, yes.
See the rules like sc_prohibit_assert_without_use in
the existing Makefile.maint.  Yesterday I factored out
the core of those four rules and now have the following.
(a patch to update this is coming up)

The hard part is coming up with a regular expression to
indicate whether a particular header is used.  The following
are simple-minded, but so far they seem to do the job...
However, for a header with many functions and macros, the
required regexp will be a lot more complicated.

# To use this "command" macro, you must first define two shell variables:
# h: the header, enclosed in <> or ""
# re: a regular expression that matches IFF something provided by $h is used.
define _header_without_use
  h_esc=`echo "$$h"|sed 's/\./\\./'`;					\
  if $(CVS_LIST_EXCEPT) | grep '\.c$$' > /dev/null; then		\
    files=$$(grep -l '^# *include '"$$h_esc"				\
	     $$($(CVS_LIST_EXCEPT) | grep '\.c$$')) &&			\
    grep -LE "$$re" $$files | grep . &&					\
      { echo "$(ME): the above files include $$h but don't use it"	\
	1>&2; exit 1; } || :;						\
  else :;								\
  fi
