Hello Martin

I don't know if Proj.4 provides axis order information directly. However 
this information is provided in the GeoAPI wrappers for Proj.4. Since 
those wrappers are in public domain, they could be copied in any project 
under any license of your choice. The file is there:

http://svn.code.sf.net/p/geoapi/code/trunk/geoapi-proj4/src/main/resources/org/opengis/wrapper/proj4/axis-orientations.txt

For example the line "ne:" lists the EPSG codes of all geographic CRS 
using the "North, East" axis order. The line "sw,ne" lists the EPSG 
codes of all projected CRS using the "South,West" axis order and based 
on a geographic CRS using the "North,East" axis order.

Note that this directory provides also other information that may be 
useful, like a mapping from Proj.4 projection names to EPSG and OGC 
projection names.
