Here's an AppleScript that will do it. It could be more tweaked to avoid some unnecessary searches of component channels (e.g. the first 3 channels of an RGB file, etc.), but this will do it:

tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS3"
	tell current document
		set channelKindList to kind of channels
		if channelKindList does not contain spot color channel then
			display dialog "No spot channels"
			return
		end if
		set returnList to {}
		set channelCount to count channels
		repeat with i from channelCount to 1 by -1
			if kind of channel i is spot color channel then
				set beginning of returnList to "Channel " & i & ": " & name of channel i & return
			end if
		end repeat
		tell AppleScript to display dialog returnList as text
	end tell
end tell

You could save the script and run it from the Terminal with a do shell script command, if that's still a preference.
