B&N doesn't mark them, which is a bit of a nuisance. However, certain publishers don't use DRM. They include Carina, Samhain, Ellora's Cave, E-Reads, Angry Robot, Baen, Microsoft, O'Reilly, Springer, and Smashwords.

Generally, if it's available DRM-free at Amazon, it's available DRM-free at B&N (not counting self-published works). However, there's no way to be absolutely sure, and B&N won't give you a refund if you bought an e-book thinking it was DRM-free when it wasn't.

You can also check at Fictionwise to see which e-books are available in Multi-Format. Those don't have DRM.
