Thanks for the reply, Henrik.
I'm fumbling my way through my first server-side extension, which, in the course of things, programatically manages additions / deletions to one of the contributing include files for hosts.cfg. I'm mostly having success but there are times when clients I'm adding appear on the Ghost Client list report rather than being instantiated as "real hosts" on the page that should be their "home".
I wanted to check that my program is actually sending "xymond" a "kill -HUP" and toward that end I was looking for a timestamp for last-signal-caught I could compare against the "right-now" time.

I need to determine this info programatically. I'm guessing it will
be embedded in some form of the "xymon ... "xymondboard ...""
command. (...or??)
There really is no way of doing that. xymond doesn't have a way of
telling you that, since I did not know it would be of use to anyone.
In fact, xymond doesn't even track this information at all.
What do you need it for ?
