There's no way to check that, because it's not a meaningful question. 
If you want to know whether a given _table_ is a replica or not, you
can find that out by looking in the _slony schema.  Look for the
tab_set in _slony.sl_table for your table, then look in the sl_set
table for that set number, and look at the set_origin.  Finally,
select last_value from sl_local_node_id.  Note that this is a
sequence, so be careful with it!
