You should be able to tell from dmesg:

Generic FE-GE Realtek PHY r8169-0-600:00: attached PHY driver (mii_bus:phy_addr=r8169-0-600:00, irq=MAC)

irq= can be MAC, POLL, or the interrupt number if interrupts are used.

If PHY WoL is used, i would expect interrupts to be used, otherwise
how is the PHY waking the system?
