Yes, here is the code that can be used in desktop.el:

,----
| (and (system-process-attributes owner)
|      (string-match "emacs"
|                    (cdr (assq 'comm
|                               (system-process-attributes owner)))))
`----

If emacs process number <owner> doesn't exist, the "else" block is used.
