Puppet does not provide this information without being extended. Luckily, there are lots of extension points in Puppet.  Collecting this information and then modeling your configuration based on these conditions is well suited for a custom Facter fact.  Custom facts are typically only a dozen or so lines of ruby code.

Hope this helps,
