This is not bad, I think Daniel's version is a bit more elegant.
One point though, whenever you see "then True else False" you can just 
remove the conditional.
if cexp then True else False is the same as just 'cexp'
Your last line becomes simply:

isHomogeneous (x:xs) = x == head xs && isHomogeneous xs

>                        then True
>                        else False
