To my knowledge, the slots don't show up any differently in Apple System Profiler. I don't know of any method other than putting in a Cardbus card and seeing if the system still works (before I Cardbus-enabled mine, a MacAlly USB card caused the system to crash, hang, or slow down, and often wouldn't mount at all). Note that even with a Cardbus-enabled machine, Mac OS 9.x will still freeze on the "Welcome To Mac OS" screen if the card is in during startup.
I don't know what kind of Cardbus card you wanted to use, but if you wanted a FireWire card, Other World Computing (http://www.macsales.com) has an IBM model that I use for only $30, which might be less annoying a more expensive card if it doesn't work. I'd guess if you have a 2400c/180 that you probably don't have Cardbus enabled already; I've only heard one or two accounts of people whose machines "just worked."
