I don't know, but you may be able to find something in the OFS package. 
  Products.PlacelessTranslationService (trunk/master) has this code that 
tries to get some similar info so it can look for an i18n directory in 
Products and registered packages:

try:
     # Zope 2.13+
     from OFS.metaconfigure import get_registered_packages
     get_registered_packages  # pyflakes
except ImportError:
     def get_registered_packages():
         import Products
         return getattr(Products, '_registered_packages', ())

from OFS.Application import get_products
