Preprocessing is doable. The downside is that preprocessing is not supported directly by the Eclipse ADT. (Btw, I like the NetBeans preprocessor and its support for configurations, and it would be great to have first-class Android support in NetBeans as well.)
But I digress. An option that is directly supported in Eclipse is Library Projects. In theory, you can move all of your code and resources to a shared library project. Then create two client projects: one for Android Market and one for Amazon Appstore. These projects would use the library project, but add their own custom AndroidManifest.xml.
