That leads me to a slight variation. Let's say I want to use one
directory for local, but I want different configuration files based
on, say, field. For example:

example.net/farm/pmwiki.php
example.net/vineyard/pmwiki.php

Both fields go to a "local" directory outside the web-accessible path:

/pmwiki-share/local/farm.php
/pmwiki-share/local/vineyard.php

At first blush, I would assume this would work using the basic code
you fleshed out above. Maybe the code above does this, but I'm just
not seeing it.
