There are the view sys.partition_functions, sys.partition_parameters
and sys.partition_range_values, but it does not seem exactly trivial
to unwind them.
If you want to work by filegroup name, it may be better to work from
sys.allocation_units, which has a data-space id which is a file
group id. And from sys.allocation_units you can work your way to
sys.partitions.
