Finally found a copy of the 'dmake' man page, and I think the following 
is what we want:

        MAKEMACROS       Contains the complete list of macro
                         expressions that were specified on the
                         command line.


That's similar to Gnu make's 'MAKEFLAGS' variable, though in gnu make 
it will also contain actual *flags* like "-s" or whatever.  In any 
case, it looks like for Gnu make we can use "$perl Build --makeflags 
MAKEFLAGS $action", and for dmake we can use "$perl Build --makeflags 
MAKEMACROS $action".

I don't yet see a similar functionality in nmake though.
