If the field is defined in $TCA you could do:
t3lib_div::loadTCA('myTable');
if (isset($GLOBALS['TCA']['myTable']['columns']['myField'])) {
	// Field 'myField' of table 'myTable' was defined in $TCA
}

If the field you're looking for isn't defined in $TCA, e.g. 'uid', you
could use a SQL query like:
DESCRIBE myTable myField
If the field is found, there'll be a result row.
