With the crate version im sure you can rewire the abc point node and retrieve any custom values you might have assigned . If i can recall correctly you could hack the abc load point node, get the alembic points duplicate it and point the identifier to the attribute, and rewire it so it sets the needed data, but this was ages ago, and im not sure if has changed as i haven't used it in nearly two years, but im sure it worked on a color attribute from a houdini mesh.
