unfortunately there is no convenient api function for this.

maybe you can compile the template like eval does:
$smarty->_compile_source('checking template', $source, $php_code)

caveats:
- compiler-function are executed, of course (this may have undesired
  side effects)

- maybe you should additionally check the php-syntax of $php_code
since there may be errors in the template that smarty fails to catch
(that should not be, but it happend reguarly)
