It can be assigned through both (they can overlap), but you can generally find out by performing a query:

SELECT PermissionsRead, PermissionsEdit 
FROM FieldPermissions
WHERE Field = 'Account.Industry' AND
      Parent.IsOwnedByProfile = FALSE
      AND ParentId IN 
         (SELECT PermissionSetId 
          FROM PermissionSetAssignment
          WHERE AssigneeId = :UserInfo.getUserId()

You can change the fields or queries in a variety of interesting ways, depending on exactly what you're trying to find out.

    @LetMeCodeYou This has to be done in Apex. If you're using straight SOQL, you need to somehow retrieve the user Id first and plug that in to your query.
