I think this might be what you're looking for:

$app        = JFactory::getApplication();
$template   = $app->getTemplate(true);
$params     = $template->params;
$variable   = $params->get('variable');

Just a note here that $template seems to be used elsewhere as a variable and so causes an error. Replace that with a different name and this still works in the latest Joomla. – Stereoisomerism
