I assume xTiled will allow you to access the tile properties you
associate with tiles in Tiled. Until Tiled 0.9.0, you can edit each
tile's properties by right-clicking a tile and selecting "Tile
Properties...". If you use a daily build you select a tile and open
the Properties dock where you can edit the tile's properties.

In either case, you can add a "Type" property and give it some value.
For readability's sake you'd usually use a string like "NPC",
"Walkable" or "Item".

If you're going to check a tile's type against three other values, you
may want to store it in a local variable first, btw. :-)
