Yes, but once you have the full Xml, you can load it into an Xml parser.
It looks like you are using C#, so the code would be:

XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.LoadXml(rd.ToString());
XmlNode node = doc.SelectSingleNode("xs:Filter", namespacemanager); 
//You need to setup the namespace manager.
string filter = node.InnerText; //Here it is

If you are using C#, you may want to look at the MaestroAPI:
http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/wiki/maestro/MaestroAPI

Using the MaestroAPI, you can read the filter like this:

ServerConnectionI con; //Read the docs on how to initialize this
LayerDefinition ldef = con.GetLayerDefinition("Library://" + 
myLayer.GetLayerDefinition().GetPath() + "/" + myLayer.GetName() + 
".LayerDefinition");
VectorLayerDefinition vldef = ldef.Item as VectorLayerDefinition;
string filter = vldef.Filter; //Here it is

IMO, much easier, and no use of the Mg* classes.
