The trail to figure this out:

 - ZCML directives for zope.conf are defined in
Zope2/Startup/zopeschema.xml. It defines a 'session_timeout_minutes'
handler.

 - Handlers are defined in Zope2/Startup/handlers.py;
session_timeout_minutes sets the defined value as a environment
variable: ZSESSION_TIMEOUT_MINS

Presumably you can read out this var from os.environ for your own
purposes; note however that I have found no mention of the ZSESSION_
variables outside of handlers.py, they appear to be otherwise unused.
