As I indicated previously, I have a sub-class of CCF containing 
formbuilder configuration settings (and more) which is a parent class 
for all my (formbuilder-using) controllers. So:

package MyApp::Controller::ClassThatUsesFormBuilder;

use lib '/path/to/my/perl-lib';
use base qw/My::Formbuilder/; # configures CCF;

sub build_form : Local Form('/users') {
   my ($self, $c) = @_;

   my $form = $self->build_user_form($c); # in My::Formbuilder

   # etc;
}

package My::Formbuilder;

use base qw/Catalyst::Controller::FormBuilder/;

__PACKAGE__->config(
   'Controller::FormBuilder' => {
     new => {
       debug => 0,
#     ^^^^^^^^^^ debug settings here
       messages => {
         # override default messages go here,
       },
       validate => {
         # complex validation routines here
       }
     }
     stash_name => 'fb', # ie fb.field.some_field.value in TT
   },
);

sub build_user_form {
   my ($self, $c) = @_;

   my $form = $self->formbuilder;

   # fields requiring complexity not available to .fb source file:
   $form->field(
     name    => 'some_field',
     options => [
       map [ $_->id, $_->location ],
         $c->model('Schema::Location')->search({},
           { order_by => 'location'} )
       ],
   );

   return $form;
}

Not only does this work, but I find it more convenient specifying 
formbuilder config options in one place rather than in every controller 
that uses CCF. Hope it works for you.
