This is where easyhooks is your friend. Especially if it is something you want to do for all OpenMPI builds (with variations depending on versions).
We add extra dependencies to OpenMPI and change configure flags to enable external PMIx/UCX for instance. And add extra env vars to the module file and more. Our hook file is getting fairly big and complex, but it avoids having to create our own easyconfig for OpenMPI, IntelMPI, GROMACS at the moment.
