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.
