Uh, no, not really.  TG_OP is a local variable in the trigger function;
it's not visible from elsewhere.

But what if a trigger calls a function that calls a 2nd function via the 
"PERFORM" command? Can that 2nd function tell if it is being run in a trigger?

No.  Doesn't really matter whether you use PERFORM or not.

One could pass a boolean from function A to B, I suppose.
