The undocumented env-variable-in-config-file feature looks at variables in the server environment at time of startup. SetEnv doesn't actually make real environment variables until a cgi script is launched. See: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/env.html What you want sounds more like the features provided by mod_macro. See http://modules.apache.org/. But the standard advice in cases like this is: httpd.conf is not a programming language, it is a config file. If you need more advanced features, then use your favorite preprocess (m4, etc) to generate your config files.
