Tom Kyte has an excellent method of finding which are chained and which are migrated 
published in a recent issue of Oracle magazine.  I don't know which one, possibly the 
latest, but will check when I get back in the office.  In the meantime, the 
information may be on his web site.
A good starting point...

If you have Oracle magazine, though, he answers your specific question.

AK,
                hi, row chaining is because the big row(row length is bigger than the 
block size), while row migration is because of small pctfree and updated rows.
                So, just look at the length of the rows. If chained rows, no 
way(unless you use larger block size and the row does not contains really long column 
like long/long row data type), if migrated rows, you can move the table to repair the 
migrated rows.
        Good luck
