I think X-Cart 4 doesn't pass information on the product's category to the product page template, so you should tweak product.php first: use the func_get_category_data() function to load information on the category and send it to the template with $smarty->assign('NAME_OF_SMARTY_VARIABLE', $DATA).

Root category info should be present on all pages as it is used to display category menus.

See how $categories_menu_list is used in customer/categories.tpl.

You could get it from the breadcrumb...
Code:
{foreach $location item=l name=location} {assign var="total" value=$l@total} {if $l@index eq $total - 2} {assign var="root_category" value=$l.0|amp} {/if} {/foreach} {if $root_category}{$root_category}{/if}
