You can use SUBST_CLASSES and friends.  Do a grep inside pkgtools; many
packages there use this feature.

BTW, use pre-configure as the stage, _not_ post-patch.  This way, when
somebody does 'make patch' to later edit the patches manually, he won't
get any changes that are done automatically (which happens from time to
time, breaking existing patches).
