Let me understand this better: do you have a back-to-back DB-60 serial
cable from your rouer to the frame switch? If not, please describe the
setup in more detail.

On a lab setup with back-to-back DB-60 serial cables, the speed shows up
on the physcial DCE side of the cable:

R8#sh controller serial 0/0
Interface Serial0/0
Hardware is PowerQUICC MPC860
DCE V.35, clock rate 64000
idb at 0x82479F98, driver data structure at 0x82482284
SCC Registers:
[snip]

So you are asking how to see the clock rate on the other end (DTE), is
that correct?

In my case my frame switch is a 50 pin ags port connected to a crossover
60 pin going to a 2501 serial port.

Don't get me wrong, I can look at ags config to get the port speed.

But stubbornly I wanted to find the incoming clock speed on the 2501.
Whatever the ags is clocking out, the 2501 has to be syncing to it.
