Is there any way to check and see if the MR plugin is enabled in Maya? I have a script that wont work unless it's enabled and if it's not I want to tell the user.

Click on Window>Settings/Preferences>Plug-in Manager and scroll down until you see Mayatomr.mll. There are check boxes, one to load the plugin, and one to auto-load it upon launching Maya.

Sorry I didn't clarify. I was talking about doing this in MEL. I need to detect this in script.

if(!`pluginInfo -query -loaded -name "Mayatomr"`)
loadPlugin "Mayatomr";
