I've gone ahead and done exactly this--the next (beta) release of PmWiki
will look first for local/config.php, local.php, and local/local.php 
(in that order).  Local/config.php will be the "official" location,
with the other two to be deprecated/removed in some future version.

I really don't know, but using include_once is almost certainly less
of a performance hit than loading+compiling code that isn't going to
be used.  And of course it depends on a lot of other variables.  :-)
