Another possibility is to call local/config.php from within farmconfig.php
prior to loading the other recipes:

  <?php
  $FarmPubDirUrl = 'http://wiki.hindu.org/pmwiki/pub';
  ## global passwords here snipped ###
  $EnablePageListProtect = 0;
  include_once('local/config.php'); ### <----- load wiki's customizations
  include_once("$FarmD/cookbook/cluster.php");

In fact, it doesn't have to be local/config.php, one can have multiple 
specialized per-wiki configuration files.  For example, the settings for
$DefaultPage could be put in a "local/config-early.php" file for each
wiki:

  <?php
  $FarmPubDirUrl = 'http://wiki.hindu.org/pmwiki/pub';
  ## global passwords here snipped ###
  $EnablePageListProtect = 0;
  include_once('local/config-early.php'); ### <----- load wiki's early customizations
  include_once("$FarmD/cookbook/cluster.php");
  ...
