There's no current issue open to do so, and porting func_config to use 
sorcery wouldn't really make sense as they are completely separate beasts.

Sorcery instances are also not currently shared within the system so 
you'd have to have a dialplan function specific to the user of sorcery 
(like the new SIP stuff) which exposes things. Doing so isn't that hard 
as sorcery already provides a mechanism to take a sorcery object and 
turn it into a key value pair. Use the object type and identifier to 
find the object, turn it into the key value pair, return what you want 
to the dialplan. Just have to make sure that the object is unreferenced 
so it doesn't (potentially) leak.

That all being said... how are you using this information in the 
dialplan / why are you looking to expose it?

Cheers,
