I don't understand what your macros are doing, but accessing variables
that aren't exported sounds rather easy.

Accessing exported variable:
mypackage:*exported-variable*

Accessing variable that is not exported:
mypackage::*internal-variable-that-you-shouldnt-touch*

If you are annoyed by the idea of encapsulation, in which a package
maintainer decides which variables you should or shouldn't touch, then
just use the double colon all the time. mypackage::*exported-variable*
works just fine.
