Question: are you using a finite and known set of domains? If so, then
something like this:

[globalString = HTTP_HOST=*example.com]
   lib.siteName = example.com
[globalString = HTTP_HOST=*example.ca]
   lib.siteName = example.ca
[globalString = HTTP_HOST=*example.net]
   lib.siteName = example.net
[global]

...in the constants field of the template, and something like this:

config.baseURL = http://www.{$lib.siteName}/

...in the setup field works. If you've got a non-finite or
indeterminate set of domains, I can't think of an immediate solution…
