There are several ways. The best for you is probably bldlevel and dir:

bldlevel F:\os2krnl
Build Level Display Facility Version 6.10.480 Oct 6 2000
(C) Copyright IBM Corporation 1993-2000
Signature: @#IBM:14.085#@_W4 IBM OS/2 Kernel
Vendor: IBM
Revision: 14.85
File Version: 14.85
Description: _W4 IBM OS/2 Kernel

dir /km F:\os2krnl
10-18-01 18:17 849,407 54 os2krnl

Sometimes, the signature does not exactly match the common name, but it's
close enough. The string that shows up at boot time can be found by
searching for "Internal revision:"

Internal revision 14.085_W4
