The ENC can pass on any variable you wish to define and they can be used by Hiera. I haven't got around to implementing a true CMDB yet so I use a very simple ruby script as my ENC. It reads the hieradata/nodes/fqdn.yaml file for a "role" value and returns that in the output to puppet. My hiera.yaml hierarchy includes "hieradata/roles/%role" The output of the ENC is very specific, if you can't find the information you need to get it to work I'll find out if I can share my ENC script with you off-list.
