is it possible to check if snort is running on a server you don`t have any

No, other than to try to use network probing tools to detect if it's interface is in promisc mode.. but that won't tell you if it's snort, tcpdump, or some other tool that has it in promisc mode.

And of course, all of this is assuming the snort box isn't connected via a read-only tap interface. If it is, you're more-or-less SOL without being able to log into the box and look at ps.
