I just tried and the best I can come up with:

Settings -> Manage Profiles...
New Profile...
Profile name: Root shell
Command: /bin/bash -c "su -"

Then hit OK.

I can now go to the file menu and just click on "Root shell" in the middle
of my File menu, this prompts for the root password before giving me a
shell. I guess if you have sudo setup to allow su - then you could use
that instead.
