err, if he already has a terminal in a window I suspect he would know that he has an X server running...
and if you meant that terminal as ssh or such from another machine, then no, you cannot be certain X-forwarding is enabled.
so, imho it would be either runlevelscript (/etc/init.d/dm status) or service dm status (which amounts to the same thing.)
it would help, though, if we knew what distro and what exactly the problem seems to be.
