It's possible, although it's not as easy as it could be.

Below is an Applescript that will retrieve the folder root for the
current project.
tell application "BBEdit"
set asAlias to file of first project document as alias
tell application "Finder" to set parentFolder to container of asAlias
as alias
-- ^^^ assumes that the saved bbedit project folder is in the root of
the project
return POSIX path of parentFolder
end tell
If you're asking for _just the name_, it becomes
tell application "BBEdit"
return name of first project document
end
What you want to do is save it somewhere, then use the osascript tool
on the command line to trigger it.
Like so:
osascript /Users/rwilcox/bin/path_to_frontmost_project.applescript
The "first" project document actually means "first by frontmost
order".
Hope this helps,
