What I'd do is make each data directory's postgresql.conf
contain just this:

include /nfs/global/postgres-<hostname>.cnf

and then just start the postmaster without any weird switches.
In this way you will avoid breaking PG-specific tools that
expect to find the config file at its standard location.
