In my case it is stored in WGS84 in separate columns. To help geoserver a bit I created an extra column with a SDO_GEOMETRY (using Oracle Spatial db) with EPSG:4326 projection and an extra column with Dutch RD projection (filled with a trigger) because the rest of the map is in Dutch RD projection and this way no reprojection needs to take place.
