We have a similar but smaller problem at our site.

We keep the configuration under source code control, and have an install
script which actually puts them in place for Exim's use.

The install script includes a step in which server-specific macros--grouped
together at the top of the original file are adjusted using the standard
patch
program. Seems to work well.

However, we have not broken our config down into a bunch of individual files
(we do have a few such, to avoid repeated code). We haven't had a need for
macros in those.
