I have a Nant build
script.
It may be executed on either dev machine or build server.
I want to skip a build step on a dev machine but still run it on a server.
How can I check if the script runs on a server or on a dev machine?

It's all about adding something special to the build server. I can think of two options from the top of my head:
Environment variable: just make sure build server has a specific environment variable and check its existence in your NAnt script
Special environment.include file: make sure build server has a special environment.include file in the root of the C drive, for example, and define build server specific NAnt properties there, like
<property name="is.build.server" value="true" />
.You can include this kind of file like this:
<include buildfile="\Environment.include" if="${file::exists('\Environment.include')}"/>
