This feels like the right approach. I don't like using enviroment
variables, personal hang-up I guess, but I can't think of another way
around it.

We only use one Zope.cgi file that contatins only the common information.
i.e SOFTWARE_HOME etc... We use SetEnv calls inside the <virtualhost>
tags to specifie things like INSTANCE_HOME and PCGI_PID_FILE. This way we
do not have to have 20+ pcgi conf files floating around. 

P.S.
If you want to make your ReWrite rule aesthetically pleasing 
I'd recomend using SetEnv for setting static enviroment variables.
