You'll find a nifty little script in this thread:
 <http://www.adobeforums.com/webx?128@@.3bc2bbb5>

Read to the end, because it got debugged a few times. Also, the way pages are counted has changed as of CS3, so you'll need to edit one line in this section or it will tell you the wrong page number:
for (i in thePageNames) {
      s = s + app.documents[0].pages[Number(i) - 1].name + ", ";

Just delete the -1 so it reads:
for (i in thePageNames) {
      s = s + app.documents[0].pages[Number(i)].name + ", ";

I use this all the time, though it has some limitations. If memory serves, it won't find oversets in tables or nested frames.
