A hook call might pass down to the hook implementations the pObj (parent 
object), which in this case might be the B-plugin, so you could access 
$pObj->conf (and you might even "modify" those, if you wish).

If the hook does not include the pObj, you will have to resort in 
finding the setup in $GLOBALS['TSFE']->tmpl->setup like Francois 
suggested, but you will not know which context your plugin was called.
