An alternative, in PHP 5.4 only, without specific configuration, would be to use traits:

extract of module.config.php:

'view_helpers' => array(
    'invokables' => array(
        'myHelper' => 'Application\View\Helper\MyHelper',
    ),  

MyHelper.php:

<?php
namespace Application\View\Helper;

use Zend\ServiceManager\ServiceLocatorAwareInterface;  

class HeadScript extends \Zend\View\Helper\MyHelper implements ServiceLocatorAwareInterface
{
    use \Zend\ServiceManager\ServiceLocatorAwareTrait;

    public function __invoke()
    {
        $config = $this->getServiceLocator()->getServiceLocator()->get('Config');
        // do something with retrived config
    }

}
