Like Ithamar mentioned, in addition to checking for ACPI/APM, it could check if 
the interface includes battery information:

No battery information available -> no power status in the Deskbar.

This would be similar to what Pieter proposed for sound:

No detected output channels -> no sound volume in the Deskbar.
