If you're using a MaterialProperty:PhaseChange and the Conduction Finite Difference heat balance model to model your phase change materials, you should be able to include a 'CondFD Surface Temperature Node' output variable. This variable doesn't seem to appear in the Input/Output Reference, but you can see it used in the example file CondFD1ZonePurchAirAutoSizeWithPCM.idf. This section of the Engineering Reference has more information about the model.
