Are you referring to this?

The code in lib/kafs/afssys.c appears to catch the SIGSYS signal while
doing some scary syscall()-guessing.

This is the closest thing to an answer so far.  But that's a pretty
huge amount of code just to figure out what filesystem a file sits on.

I'm also worried about using something like this to answer the
question "does this machine have the AFS client" in a situation where
a false negative means severe data corruption.  In the case of the
krb4-kth library, a false negative in the syscall()-guessing just
means that the user gets an error message.
