What exactly are you trying to do?  Almost certainly you shouldn't be
solving your problem with a call to yield. Perhaps you need a
semaphore?

Anyway, to answer your question, yes the threads used to do upcalls to
servants are omnithreads. You can get a pointer to the current thread
with omni_thread::self().
