Correct answer c.pfaffenbichler

var theSampler = app.activeDocument.colorSamplers.add([10,10]);

alert (theSampler.color.rgb.red+"_"+theSampler.color.rgb.green+"_"+theSampler.color.rgb.blue);

Edit: And keep in mind that a document can have only four ColorSamplers (as of CS5 at least).

You can also remove the color samplers so that you can keep taking readings.  I've done this to create an XML file of various sample points to be used later by another script.
