this anything I should worry about, should I do anything about it now, or
should I wait until I get to the hydrolics in my rebuild?

I take it you mean the pedals themselves are frozen? and they are not attached
to any master cylinders?
If so you should certainly remove the pedal assembly and free it up before you
start on any hydraulics. Hopefully the master cyl & reservoir are not in yet.
Very simple matter to R & R the pedals and related parts. In all liklihood
just needs a little clean and lubrication.
If the pedals don't move on account of a frozen master cyl, well you know
where to begin when you get 'round to it!
