Your question is a bit unclear. It sounds like maybe you're currently building with "debug" and "release", from the command line, and you want to add your own build variants similar to that.

If that's the case... the mechanism for this is addExclusiveBuilds. Here is an example. I wouldn't recommend to mess around with it if you aren't comfortable reading qmake code.

TEMPLATE = app
SOURCES = main.cpp

# Adds two build variants.
# One of them builds the app with optimal compiler flags,
# the other one builds the app with support for collecting coverage data.
# For the first one, CONFIG will contain `optimized' and a Makefile.Optimized will be     generated.
# For the second, CONFIG will contain `coverage' and a Makefile.Coverage will be generated.
# There will also be a top-level Makefile which invokes both the sub-makefiles.
addExclusiveBuilds(optimized, Optimized, coverage, Coverage)

CONFIG(optimized, coverage|optimized) {
    message(I am in the optimized build variant)
    QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += -O3

    TARGET = myapp-optimized
}
else:CONFIG(coverage, coverage|optimized) {
    message(I am in the coverage build variant)
    QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += --coverage
    QMAKE_LFLAGS += --coverage

    TARGET = myapp-coverage
}
else {
    message(I am in the glue project which contains the build variants)

    # This will cause a `make' to build both optimized and coverage
    # variants by default.
    CONFIG += build_all
}

If I understand what you are saying, you add what you want to the CONFIG variable:

CONFIG += user_setting
...
user_setting: message( "compiling with user_setting" )

See the qmake manual where it talks about the CONFIG variable, especially near the end of the section.
