I don't think there is a way, other than killing the Emacs session.
However, 9 times out of ten Emacs exits cleanly when killed, i.e.,
auto-saves are performed if needed. 

Then all you have to do to restore all your buffers (and their
contents) is:

  M-x recover-session

and answer 'yes' a few times.
