portal_membership.getAuthenticatedMember() is a 'normal' user wrapped
with CMF noodles, so you can use all your favourite AuthenticatedUser
methods, such as getRoles, hasRole and the like.

I think you're after this, from CMFCore.MembershipTool:

    def getPortalRoles(self):
        """
        Return all local roles defined by the portal itself,
        which means roles that are useful and understood 
        by the portal object
        """
