Why would you want to get hold of the site root? Assuming that the CMF 
tools are registered as local utilities, you should simply be able to say:

   from zope.component import getUtility
   from Products.CMFPlone.interfaces import IPloneTool # verify this

   plone_tool = getUtility(IPloneTool)

Zope will automatically figure out that where it should get that tool 
from (because it traversed over the site).
