I've seen a couple of these. One is Mike Kay's DTDGenerator, a demo 
application of his SAXON package. There's a Perlified front end to it 
(written by Paul Tchistopolskii) at:
         http://www.pault.com/Xmltube/dtdgen.html
You enter the name of or browse to a local copy of the XML file, and it 
returns a DTD.

The DTDGenerator page itself is at:
         http://users.iclway.co.uk/mhkay/saxon/dtdgen.html

Am pretty sure IBM's alphaWorks has such a tool, too, but I don't know much 
of anything about it beyond that.
