Here are two quick and dirty ways of checking the duplex setting of all interfaces as a non-root user:

kstat -p | grep link_duplex | grep mac

0=link down 1=half duplex 2=full duplex

Or

ndd /dev/hme link_status 
ndd /dev/hme link_mode 
ndd /dev/hme link_speed

link_status: 0=down 1=up
link_mode: 0=half 1=full
link_speed: 0=10 1=100
