There is no way telling unless the operator was using a shell that keeps a history in which case you can try looking for any history file in the root user's home directory and seeing if newfs or mkfs is listed in them (assuming you are looking for a fairly recent occurence).
If all you want to know is what the file system type is now then use the
fstyp(1m) command.
