I think you could achieve this by turning some or all of your config 
file into an
"executable config" written in Perl within <Perl> ... </Perl> directives 
in httpd.conf

As explained by Stas to me on this alias a few weeks ago, in principle 
you can
write your whole config in Perl, including of course setting/using 
variables. This is
documented to a degree in the mod_perl docs, but a full working example 
would be
nice ;-)
