I don’t think this is possible.   Pqact opens the pqact.conf file, parses its 
contents into binary structures in memory that don’t look anything like the 
original pqact.conf entries (especially the regular expressions that get 
compiled), and then closes and ignores the pqact.conf file.    Even if  you had 
a way to get at the binary structures, it’d be really hard to translate that 
back into pqact.conf syntax.

I stupidly let our disk fill up, so when I tried to edit a config file, we lost 
it.

However, with LDM still running, it appears to be honoring it.  Is there any 
way (using ldmadmin -- or some other means) to get the LDM to cough out what 
'pqact.conf' file it's using so that I can restore it?

I can try to re-build it by hand, but this could be a trial-and-error 
process...hoping there's some way I can cheat to get the LDM to cough out what 
it has in memory so I can copy/paste that back into the file.

I'd like that to be back in place before I restart the LDM or apply any patches 
the Debian server needs...

(Imagine my embarrassment...)
