you could give it a try - the Magic class is very powerful ;)

But to answer your question - I don't know of such a method (yet). In 
extbase code like this is used:

$modelClassName = t3lib_div::underscoredToUpperCamelCase($tableName);
$repositoryClassName = str_replace('_Model_', '_Repository_', 
$modelClassName) . 'Repository';


There might be such a method in future, because I think I might need it 
for the group support - but I'm not sure because the DataMapper doesn't 
use repositories to fetch related objects (but that could also change - 
there is a feature request IIRC).
