Is there a way to get MAC address of a Roku box?

The MAC address is listed on the bottom of the device, and in the Settings->Player Info/About. If you mean programmatically, I don't think so.

I mean programmatically. I need to store both MAC address and Serial number for device authentication. I suppose roDeviceInfo already have methods I'm looking for.

The MAC address of a unit could vary between it's wired and wireless interfaces, depending on the unit. I also don't see any methods to find the MAC address in the component reference, device linking, or brightscript reference docs in the 3.0 beta sdk. Have a look at pages 10-11 of the developerguide.pdf, and the whole of DeviceRegistrationAndLinking.pdf, for suggested methods for device linking/registration/authentication.

We recommend against using the serial number or MAC address for authentication. Please check the device registration and linking document in the SDK for the preferred, token-based method of authentication.
