Just updated to do something similar for ACF5. Much easier thanks to the API improvements. Thanks!

/**      
 * Returns an array of field groups with fields for the passed CPT, where field group ACF location rule of "post_type == CPT" exists.
 *  - each field group points at an array of its fields, in turn pointed at an array of that field's detailed information:
 *    - array of info for each field [ ID, key, label, name, type, menu_order, instructions, required, id, class, conditional_logic[array()], etc. ]
 *  
 * @since    1.0.0

function get_acf_field_groups_by_cpt($cpt) {
  // need to create cache or transient for this data?
	
  $result = array();
  $acf_field_groups = acf_get_field_groups();
  foreach($acf_field_groups as $acf_field_group) {
    foreach($acf_field_group['location'] as $group_locations) {
      foreach($group_locations as $rule) {

          if($rule['param'] == 'post_type' && $rule['operator'] == '==' && $rule['value'] == $cpt) {
          
            $result[] = acf_get_fields( $acf_field_group );
                        
          }

      }
      
    }
      
  }
  
  return $result;
}
