This sounds a bit like the dependency files that are possibly to create
with the -MM flag for gcc, those files contain makefile rules to keep
track of dependencies of .h files. Usually make does includ on such files.

One way to solve your problem would be to include your config files in
Makefile, something like this:

include $(wildcard *.conf)

And each .conf file would have a line looking something like this:

LDFLAGS += -lm -lX11
