Why make life hard? Machines that have a CHD in their ROM definitions will have a <disk> element inside the <machine> element. (Unless you're looking for any machine that can potentially load a CHD, which is a different question.)
But I'd question the usefulness of this - presence or absence of CHD media is not really a good indication of space or performance requirements. There are CHDs that are smaller than many ROM sets (e.g. Wedding Rhapsody is smaller than a lot of later Neo-Geo games), and many ROM-based games are more demanding than the PlayStation-based CD-ROM games.
