This kind of passing variables to config is possible with params index of array stored in main.php config file.

Lets assume that you have two config files: main.php and customconfig.php. In main.php you have base configuration, for example components, modules etc. It is standard config file used in Yii. Second file, customconfig.php is your custom file with your custom variables.

First of all, you need to create your customconfig.php file that returns array with params index:

<?php
//this is customconfig.php config file

return array(
    'params'=>array('variableName'=>'variableValue'),
);

Next step is merge your customconfig.php file content with array that contains config from main.php file:

<?php
//this is main.php config file

return CMap::mergeArray(
    require(dirname(__FILE__).'/customconfig.php'), //here is path to custom config file
    array(

        //your config data

        'params'=>array(
            // ...
        ),
    )
);

Now you have access to variables from customconfig.php with Yii::app()->params['variableName'].
