Some systems list their onboard 
NIC's MAC in the BIOS. A few ones 
may even have it printed on the 
board or a sticker with the MAC
somewhere close to the NIC's port.
Or get a permit to unplug its disk(s)
before booting an OpenBSD CD,
then drop to a shell and run ifconfig.

If the MAC was spoofed but the
system was connected to a managed
switch the switch may still have the
MAC from when it powered on cached.
If your worried about spoofed MACs
you may also want to look into the
feature called port security (at least 
on Juniper and Cisco devices) on your 
access switches.
Which causes interesting problems with
VMs bridged to the hosts NIC, btw ; )
