Of course not.  Users can provide their own macro packages.

However, assuming one of the standard ones is involved, you might
be able to tell by seeing what macros it appears to be using.  The
following "doctype" script demonstrates this, as well as finding
other useful information of the same general nature.

#!/usr/5bin/sh
#	doctype -- synthesize proper command line for troff
