you could use a spatial filter to let the WFS do the work
http://dev.openlayers.org/apidocs/files/OpenLayers/Filter/Spatial-js.html
eg. Intersect with the point

essentially you would send the filter then, on returning from the WFS,
test the response for a geometry, if it has one, the point is within a
polygon.
check out the examples for filter.
