Because a portlet should not care about how the portal chooses to aggregate the contents...

Not sure .. But try to get read typeSettings from layout table. It will give you portlet deployed on that particular page ..

you will get some thing like this

sitemap-include=1
sitemap-changefreq=daily
layout-template-id=2_columns_ii
column-2=requestdashboard_WAR_portlet

And from above data you can get which ever required for you ..

Hope this helps ..

There some information about portlet layout in the following page but you'll have to dig into the code to find how it's actually being done.
http://www.liferay.com/community/wiki/-/wiki/Main/Layout

Also, check the child page.
http://www.liferay.com/community/wiki/-/wiki/Main/Add+runtime+portlets+to+a+layout

That said, I'm not too sure what you're trying to do. Are you disabling users from modifying their pages and setting portlets on a page dynamically?
if so, you should know which portlets are placed where.
