After a very quick search in some header files, I think these two 
functions might interest you.

bool IVRenderView::AreAnyLeavesVisible( int *leafList, int nLeaves );
int IEngineTrace::GetLeafContainingPoint( const Vector &ptTest ) = 0;

I haven't tested them, but if they work like I think they do, this is 
how you'd do it. I think this is client-side too.

bool ShouldDraw( const Vector &ptTest )
{
    int LeafNum = enginetrace->GetLeafContainingPoint(ptTest);
    return render.>AreAnyLeavesVisible(&LeafNum,1);
}
