Unfortunately, I do not think this is easily possible with launchd.
The only solution I can think of would be to wrap it with a shell script. Or
use an external start script that reads the arguments from a file.
<key>ProgramArguments</key>
<array>
<string>/bin/sh</string>
<string>-c</string>
<string>source /opt/local/etc/foo/options && exec /opt/local/bin/foo
$FOO_OPTIONS</string>
</array>
