Hello Bill,
Michael is close (hello Mike :-) but his code doesn't cover pasted PICTs.
---
tell document 1 of application "QuarkXPress 4.11"
tell current box
if bounds of image 1 is not {0, 0, 0, 0} then
if (file path of image 1) is not null then
display dialog "The picture box contains an imported image."
else
display dialog "The picture box contains a pasted PICT."
end if
else
display dialog "The picture box is empty."
end if
end tell
end tell

Or:
---
tell document 1 of application "QuarkXPress 4.11"
tell current box
if (file path of image 1) is null then
if bounds of image 1 is {0, 0, 0, 0} then
display dialog "The picture box is empty."
else
display dialog "The picture box contains a pasted PICT."
end if
else
display dialog "The picture box contains an imported image."
end if
end tell
end tell

Okay... I've seen _one_ ***empty*** picture box which returned
{32767, 32767, 32767, 32767} and the script thought -- of course --
that it contained an image.
