Why do you not want to change the per-service conf files?  Those files 
_are_ the database.

There are a bunch of strategies that you could use to, e.g., maintain your 
alterations as a diff to the base-system config so to make upgrades 
easier, but a) to answer your question, no, there's nothing standard for 
that, and b) that is an especially risky approach - you could completely 
break your security, letting anyone in, or locking legitimate users out, 
etc.
