There isn't a specific function that will do this, but it's definitely something you can add to your site. Personally, I've added a custom widget to one of my sites that displays this kind of functionality in the upper-right corner.

Here is some of the code I use:

<?php
$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
$email_hash = md5( $current_user->user_email );
?>
<div class="login_widget">
    <?php if ( is_user_logged_in() ) { ?>
        <div class="actions">
            <ul>
                <li class="first-line">Welcome, <?php echo $current_user->display_name; ?>!</li>
                <li><a href="<?php echo admin_url( 'profile.php' ); ?>" title="Profile">Manage Your Profile</a></li>
                <li><a href="<?php echo wp_logout_url( home_url() ); ?>" title="Logout">Log Out</a></li>
            </ul>
        </div>
        <img src="http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/<?php echo $email_hash; ?>?s=50" alt="Gravatar" width="50" height="50" />
    <?php } else { ?>
        <div class="actions">
            <ul>
                <li class="first-line">
                    <a href="<?php echo wp_login_url( get_permalink() ); ?>">Log in</a> or
                    <a href="<?php echo site_url( 'register' ); ?>">join the community</a>
                </li>
            </ul>
        </div>
    <?php } ?>
</div>

If the user is logged in, it displays a box like this:

If the user is logged out, it displays a line of text like this:

A quick note that @EAMann's answer isn't BuddyPress-specific. If you want to point to the user's BP profile edit page instead of the WP Dashboard version, replace

admin_url( 'profile.php' )

with

bp_loggedin_user_domain()
