Shaun's code will get you a count, but do make anote that with -SeachScope Subtree you will get all OUs under the root and their children.  You may want to use -SeachScope OneLevel to count just the direct children.

(Get-ADOrganizationalUnit -SearchBase "OU=Root,DC=Domain,DC=com" -Filter * -SearchScope OneLevel).Length
