how to get an estimation of Cds?

Say I have the intrinsic model file of a transistor, and I'd like to know the output capacitance value Cds, what is the best way?

The model file should have Cds as a parameter.
 
You can use Y-parameters to solve for the unknown values in a network.  See page two:
 
http://www.ece.unh.edu/courses/ece617/two_port_parameters.pdf
 
You'll want the Y-parameters at a low frequency where inductive reactance is not too high.
 
See equation 23 of this:
