A proof of concept for such a configuration file handling (not developed
against 3.1.2-7, thus no patch) is outlined below:
`/etc/init.d/bopm' needs to be modified to iterate over the available
configuration files in `/etc/bopm'. BOPM already supports the concept of
CONFNAMEs, which specifies distinct configuration files in its directory
by looking for CONFNAME + '.conf'. This also sets the default logfile to
LOGDIR + CONFNAME + '.log'.
The following shell function could be used as a helper to retrieve a
CONFNAME from the name of the configuration file:
get_confname() {
CONFNAME=$(echo $1|sed -e 's#.*/\([a-zA-Z0-9]*\)\.conf$#\1#')
}
The user is expected to set the pidfile option correctly in the
additional configuration files. This should be noted in README.Debian.

More changes are required for reload; restart could be aliased to stop,
start. Using a parameter set as introduced in your last revision does
not make sense because BOPM only supports two parameters:
-c -- Set the confname
-d -- Log to stderr, with increased verbosity
I hope that this proof of concept helps a bit.
Kind regards,
