On the client you should always have access to the executable. Use
the "what" command to peak at the version string. This is an old SCCS
command that is so useful that it has outlived the product. It scans
the file looking for a magic sequence of characters that will identify
what version a product is. People still use it because this
functionality is needed for this purpose and nothing else standard
exists.
what /usr/vice/etc/afsd
One of the lines from this output will be the version of the daemon
itself. Other modules in the executable will have other version lines
mixed up in the output. But you should be able to tell one from the
other.

If you don't have access to the server machine filesystem then this
won't work. But on the server machine you can look at the executables
there. bosserver is as good as any.
what /usr/afs/bin/bosserver
Again this will generate some output with the version strings from the
executable.
