Naive answer:

def File.yaml?(fname)
   YAML.load(IO.read(fname))
   true
rescue ArgumentError
   false
end

Though, open up irb -ryaml and keep running this line:
   YAML.load Array.new(60){rand 256}.pack('c*')

I'm not sure that's what you're after. :)

And I'm guessing you didn't mean:
def File.yaml?(fname)
   extname(fname) =~ /^ya?ml$/
end
