It is not likely from the average Second Life user. However, when an avatar uses a notecard or other scripted object, the IP address COULD be viewable, though the methods are a little hazy. BUT, if you're like most users of Second Life, your IP address is not static. Further, the IP address will only manage to tell her what ISP you're using.... very little else about you.
You have nothing to worry about. :-)

I believe that this is possible if you listen to streaming music or watch streaming video in SL. Nowadays there may also be streaming images from web pages on a parcel. If you are worried about people being abe to capture or identify your IP address, you will need to disable streaming media in your preferences.

I have been in S since 2004, and so did not use any sources.
