FormBuilder::Action builds the CGI::Formbuilder instance like this:

   sub _create_formbuilder {
       my $self = shift;
   
       return CGI::FormBuilder->new( @_ );
   }

So what you need to do is do something like:

   package MyApp::FormBuilder::Action;
   use base 'Catalyst::Controller::FormBuilder::Action::TT'; # or Mason etc.
   sub _create_formbuilder { shift; return MyApp::FormBuilder->new(@_) }
   1;

Then configure Catalyst::Controller::FormBuilder to use it:

   $config->{Controller::FormBuilder}{action} = 'MyApp::FormBuilder::Action';

That should do it.  This is totally untested though, so good luck.
