You may announce class which works with google API in vendors, there you define needle constants as usual. And in your app controller only include vendor like this:

<?php

App::import('Vendor', 'google', array('file' => 'google.php'));

class AppController extends Controller {

/app/Config/bootstrap.php

I wouldn't set them up as constants, I'd use the configure class to store them:

Configure::write(array(
    'outh2.key'=>'foo',
    'outh2.secret_key'=>'bar',
    'outh2.dev_key'=>'baz'
));

$key = Configure::read('outh2.key');
