ROC Curve for decision tree with categorial dependent variable?

Greeting,
      I'm proposing to compare numerous prediction models using AUC scores. The models are three decision trees based on the CHAID, Exhastive CHAID, and CART algorithms. I have two dependent variables the first (categorial with five categories) is a categorial variable and the second variable is dicotomous. I understand that ROC curves are 2x2 tables, is there any way to compute a ROC curve for the categorical dependent variable? Or do I have to limit the analysis to the dicotomous dependent?

Thanks,
