If you really want to use an array:

     import System.Linq;

     ...
     var arrayOfGameObjects : GameObject[];

     function OnTriggerEnter(other : Collider) {

         var index = arrayOfGameObjects.FindIndex(function(g) { return g == other.gameObject; });
         //Index will be -1 if no match

     }

But you could use a List:

    import System.Linq;
    import System.Collections.Generic;

     ...
     var listOfGameObjects : List.<GameObject>;

     function OnTriggerEnter(other : Collider) {

         var index = listOfGameObjects.IndexOf(other.gameObject);
         //Index will be -1 if no match

     }

If you want to be even more terse in C#, you can use a Lambda expression. You don't need the Linq namespace for that, either:

int index = m_ClustersThisFrame.FindIndex(g => g == other.gameObject);

Good point - I always forget the FindIndex is one of the few things that isn't Linq :)
