Depends on what you mean by 'access' and 'fiddle'.

Beta labs is configured from the same git project as production, except
that there is a CommonSettings-wmflabs.php file, db-wmflabs.php file etc.
that override the production settings where desired.  For example, you can
see my recent commit to CommonSettings-wmflabs.php from two days ago that
enabled AFTv5 for 100% of beta enwiki in the queue here:

My understanding is that there are still a few live hacks in place yet to
be managed, but since the vast majority of the environment is managed from
puppet and the config is in git, that should be possible.  I'm not sure of
the mechanism by which to accomplish it, though.  Cloning beta labs is not
a topic we've considered so far.
