On possibility is run ifconfig and see if the network interface is in 
promiscuous mode.

OTOH, there are several techniques for detecting sniffers remotely. The 
guys from atstake.com had a program that can be used for that.

Note, however, that's a heuristic detection.

For the "theory" behind these programs, use Google, there are many papers 
on this subject.
