Agreed .. ideally your build publishes an environment independent package to a repository server and then your deployment tool retrieves it from there and deploys it in all your environments.
This could be Maven on both sides but there are other tools better suited for deployment e.g.. puppet, chef, cfengine or even rpm packages with yum (try Nexus 2.3 with that..) If you really cant (or dont want to) do that I would suggest to still push an environment independency war to your repo and then if you want to use Maven again (not ideal but possible) .. have separate modules and e.g. use the war plugin with the overlay feature to apply the configuration and then farm it out to whereever..
