By xymon client, do you mean 'xymonlaunch'? (The client itself is just a shell script, after all...). To my knowledge the --debug setting not visible to any of the tasks getting launched.
Keep in mind that this setting can be changed dynamically as well, so if it were an environment variable (for example), it would only reflect the status as of the moment it was launched (which is probably only of more concern for persistent or long-running daemons).

Is there a variable that my client side scripts can access to know if the xymon client was started in debug mode?
I would like my client scripts to write to their log files dependent on if the client is running in debug or not. Only logging true errors normally, logging debug messages when in debug.
