No. You set them with:
FvwmCommand 'SetEnv FOO bar'

Because they're in FVWM's process space and not anything else, and you're
wanting to use them elsewhere, you can do nothing *but* ask FVWM about them.
Again, I would just use FvwmCommand to echo the appropriate environment
variable.
Alternatively, what's the problem you're trying to solve? Perhaps there's
an easier way, rather than relying on this rather bizarre solution to a
problem you've not (yet) stated.
