You could do:
def app(global_config, **settings):
config = Configurator(settings=settings)
config.begin()
config.registry.provideUtility(factory(), ISomething)
config.scan()
config.end()
return config.make_wsgi_app()
config.registry isn't really an API, but it's unlikely to change. It's
a ZCA registry; you'll have to go find the docs for it wherever they
are(nt), but usually the method names are the same as the global API
names (e.g. registry.registerUtility vs. registerUtility).
I won't get boxed in by this though; you get to keep both pieces if this
eventually breaks. BFG uses the ZCA. It doesn't advertise its presence
as a feature that to be used by app developers. You don't need to use
the same registry that BFG uses to use the ZCA in a BFG app; just use a
different one.

The right way to use a global (actually threadlocal) API to get the
registry that BFG uses is:
from repoze.bfg.threadlocal import get_current_registry
registry = get_current_registry()
During the configuration stage, the "current" global registry is defined
as whatever registry is attached to the configurator between the begin()
and end() calls.
If you want to use the global ZCA api (e.g. getUtility, getAdapter, etc)
to work against the BFG ZCA registry, you have to use config.hook_zca(),
which is documented in http://docs.repoze.org/bfg/1.3/narr/zca.html .
Preferably, don't do that at all, and you'll wind up putting
registrations into the Zope global registry, which your app can use
independently.
