As far as I know, you can't. The awakeFromNib message carries no contextual information.
However, it should be implied since it's probably your code that's loading on of the "other" NIBs, so you should be able to tell your object which NIB is about to be loaded prior to loading it.
The ideal solution, of course, would be an awakeFromNib handler that didn't need to know and would perform the correct initialization or do nothing as appropriate. Stateless handlers are always preferable, when possible.
