I don't think so.

For that, I like to use a keybinding:

In 2.4.x fvwm sets $[vp.height] which you could use in PipeRead.
If, for some reason, you don't want to upgrade you can pull the
screen height out of xdpyinfo.
That would give you screen height in pixels, but theres still no
way that I know of to know the height of your font in pixels.
I guess you'd have to hard code that.
