I had similar concerns when I was making SSLv3 and cipher changes to my 
LDAP service.  I wanted to proactively identify any clients that would be
affected so we could fix them in advance.

I used tshark to sniff the ciphers for all my incoming connections, but 
you can also get the TLS version used from the output.

I wrote it up in a blog post here:

NOTE: This does not require access to your private key because there is no 
decryption of data.
