I looked through the LibAddonMenu code but it looks like all it does is toggle the SetText(..) unless I'm missing something.

I don't know what you mean by this "when the user presses a button while the panel is still open". If what merlight provided you with is not what you are looking for, then no. There is no GetValue method, as settings are usually supposed to be saved to a saved variable. Even if you don't want to save the value to your saved variables file, you should still save it to *some* variable if you want to access it later.
Edit:
While I'm at it, since LibAddonMenu controls aren't created until the panel is open is there a way to know when the controls are created so you can change the CheckedText/UncheckedText ?

Yes, register for the "LAM-PanelControlsCreated" callback, which merlight also provided above. The arg passed through is the panel whose controls are now available.
