Define doesn't define a function, it defines a resource type.
You need no array, just use your define as:
create_file {
"/etc/foo1.conf":
port => $a,
fullserver => $b;
"/etc/foo2.conf":
port => $c,
fullserver => $d;
...
}
You will want to change the define as follows:
define create_file($port, $fullserver) {
file { "$name":
content => template('test.erb'),
}
}
file { "$name": ... } instead of a static name.
Otherwise puppet *will* complain about multiple definition of
File["test.erb"].
