I have a similar but more automatic approach. I create the pto project file for one exposure, and then use a custom script to generate the panoramas for the different exposures. One feature of nona is very useful: you can pass the names of the images on the command line and it will use those images instead of the ones in the pto file. What the script does is to increase the number in the filename of the images.
An alternative would be to use the "Apply template" in Hugin (in the File menu), which reuses the settings of another pto file. You could then use ptomerge (http://search.cpan.org/dist/Panotools-Script/bin/ptomerge) to merge these different exposures into one.
