Probably, but I could say the same thing regarding you and tables! ;)

Here's the basic idea for getting empty frames (as you can see, my 
functions all rely upon each other):

function IsEmptyTextFrame(textFrame){
    if(textFrame.characters.length>0){return false}
    if(HasTables (textFrame)){return false}
    if(HasFootnotes (textFrame)){return false}
    return true;
    }

function HasFootnotes(textFrame){
    if(textFrame.footnotes.length>0){return true}
    var footnote = GetLastPlacedFootnote(textFrame.parentStory);
    if(! footnote){return false}
    var footnoteFrames = AsArray(footnote.parentTextFrames);
    if(GetItemIndex(footnoteFrames,textFrame)!=null){return true}
    return false;
    }
//**********************************
function HasTables(textFrame){
    if(textFrame.tables.length>0){return true}
    if(textFrame.lines.length==0){return false}
    if(textFrame.lines[0].characters.length==0){return true}
    return false;
    }
