There are ways to compare ROC areas.  This will not have very good 
power.  The Hmisc package's rcorrp.cens function provides a test that 
deals with pairs of pairs of predictions and observed outcomes that I 
feel has much more power.  It tests whether one predictor is 'more 
concordant' with the outcome than another.
