We already have include directives, and have had since 8.2.

Thus spake the docs:

"In addition to parameter settings, the postgresql.conf file can contain 
/include directives/, which specify another file to read and process as 
if it were inserted into the configuration file at this point. Include 
directives simply look like:

include 'filename'

If the file name is not an absolute path, it is taken as relative to the 
directory containing the referencing configuration file. Inclusions can 
be nested."
