Is there an XPCOM component in the toolkit that will allow me to get the
standard host name of the local machine, similar to gethostname() in C?

The DNS service knows this:
http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/netwerk/dns/public/nsIDNSService.idl#91
For example:
var dnsComp = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/network/dns-service;1"];
var dnsSvc = dnsComp.getService(Components.interfaces.nsIDNSService);
alert(dnsSvc.myHostName);
HTH.
