unfortunally there is no such possibility for now.
I've done simular user_functions which can be used in TS condition, it's 
not such hard :)

Here is the main operation needed:

	// Get DS of page record
$pageRecord = $GLOBALS['TSFE']->page;
if (!$conf['columns'] || !isset($pageRecord['tx_templavoila_flex']) || 
$pageRecord['tx_templavoila_flex'] == '') {
	return;
}
$columns = t3lib_div::trimExplode(',', $conf['columns'], TRUE);
$pageArray = t3lib_div::xml2array($pageRecord['tx_templavoila_flex']);
	// GET used CEs
$contentIdList = '';
foreach ($columns as $column) {
	if (isset($pageArray['data']['sDEF']['lDEF'][$column])) {
		$contentIdList .= $pageArray['data']['sDEF']['lDEF'][$column]['vDEF'] 
. ',';
	}
}
$contentIdList = substr($contentIdList, 0, -1);
if ($contentIdList === '') {
	return;
}

	// Get all used CE's
$records = 
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_DB']->exec_SELECTgetRows('uid,tx_templavoila_ds,list_type', 
'tt_content', 'uid in(' . $contentIdList . ')');
foreach ($records as $record) {
	// do your stuff or return value for userfunc
}
