Yes in principle, but there is a caveat with "older" kernels, like v3.5 and
before.  :-)

To determine whether a node is a local node, you currently need to use
the /dev/fw* ioctl interface itself.  Here is a code snippet which
contains a "is it a local node?" test:
https://user.in-berlin.de/~s5r6/linux1394/utils/test-phy-pinging_v20100719.c

But there is a patch pending and planned to be released in v3.6-rc1 which
adds a sysfs attribute that tells whether a node is local or remote.
