It's too bad the new system preferences don't have a scriptable  
Sharing pane.  Several others are scriptable and it's rather neat:

tell app "System Events"
  tell security preferences
    get properties
  end tell
end tell

or

tell app "System Events"
  get the properties of every login item
end tell

Works for Spaces and Network and several others, but not for sharing.   
I think you're stuck with UI scripting.
