I am not the best coder by any means, but when I was working on a ctf addon for Oz Deathmatch, I tried the exact thing. In the maps, I added a key value to the spawn function, and in world spawn, I read in the value and set the game rules based on that. Only thing is, that I was never able to get it to work right. I would never set the gamerules in time...
Only thing I was able to make work, was to prefix the map with ctf_ . I know this is not what you really want to do, but it was not very hard, and worked great. On another note, if you go through the Gearbox fgd and maps, they have a ctf_detect keyvalue set for thier maps. So it is possible, just not sure how to do it though.
