There actually is one already:  unmodified-according-to-VC buffers use
"-" as a separator in their VC indicator, and modified buffer have ":"
(e.g., "CVS-1.2" vs. "CVS:1.2").  The tooltip over the VC indicator also
says more explicitly.

[Note that the indicator doesn't change until you save the file.]
