Not really - the usual way is to do something like this:
gint nlayers, i;
gint *layers = gimp_image_get_layers(image_id, &nlayers);
/* layers[0] is the top layer */
for (i = 0; i < nlayers; i++)
{
/* Do stuff with layers[i] */
/* layer is a text layer if the parasite "gimp-text-layer" has been
* set */
GimpDrawable *layer = gimp_drawable_get (layers[i]);
GimpParasite *text_parasite = gimp_drawable_parasite_find
(layers[i], "gimp-text-layer");
if (text_parasite != NULL)
/* We have a text layer */
}
All the standard GIMP parasites are listed in the gimp sources,
in devel-docs/parasites.txt. There are also docs for things like
debugging plug-ins, overviews of many of the GIMP's internal
formats including xcf, and some documentation for important
subsystems like undo, as well as gtkdocs for the libgimp API.

I'm not sure how the text is stores in a gimp-text-layer
parasite. It is a GimpText object serialised to a string, if that
helps any. UTSL (Use the Source, Luke) or ask Sven :)
Hope this helps,
Cheers,
Dave.
