Oh, while not worth it, it might work to wrap the workhorse part of the script into a command.
<?lc command renderpage constant myconstant="stuff" do1 k do2 k do3 end renderpage command do1 pvar end do1 command do2 pvar end do2 command do3 pvar end do3 renderpage ?> Would probably work but doubt it would be worth the effort when a regular old var can be used. Hmm I do wonder though.. Since stacks are now supported it might work to have a stack that sets the constant and see if it works that way.
