Try something like 

(literal 
   (node-property 
      'system-data 
      (node-list-first 
         (node-property 
           'prolog 
           (current-root)))))

Note that you will have to do some string processing to get only
the encoding name. The above will give you everything between 
PIO (ie <?) and PIC (ie ?>).

Note also that your root rule creates an invalid FOT, which would
make OpenJade unhappy. You need something like

(root (make simple-page-sequence (make paragraph
   (literal ...)
)))
