I've never heard that the use of synthetic oil means you can't have sludge. As far as I know it lessens the risk. However if the car doesn't have PCV 7 (or worse, one of the other updates which supposed to be even worse) and the car was driven short distances, I'd guess that there still is a risk of sludge.
Removing the oil pan is really the only sure way to see if there is any sludge or particles blocking the oil pump intake. So if you're really worried, I'd take that route to settle your mind. If it were me, I'd drive the car the 1500 miles and enjoy the ride...
