Maybe use a vars file with hash keyed to whatever your situation requires?
EG vars file:
---
template_var:
site1:
name: site1
domain: example.com
site2:
name: site2
domain: anotherexample.com
and in template:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/{{ template_vars[item][name] }}
ServerName {{ template_vars[item][name] }}{{
template_vars[item][domain]}}
</VirtualHost>
