I would guess the Sanger sequencing project has data on this.  My
experience is that introns in pombe are fairly common, but short. 
Multiple introns are not uncommon. 

Reviews on the subject:
Prabhala, G., Rosenberg, G. H., and Kaufer, N. F. (1992). Architectural
features of pre-mRNA introns in the fission yeast
Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Yeast 8, 171-182.
