I, too, am annoyed by this.

Some clients define certain config.h variables - particularly XAW. 
Others define none.  If you change your config.h variables you must 
recompile everything...

I think the best alternative is be to create a new header config_gui.h. 
  This header would only be included from the GUI files.  Or perhaps it 
could be config_client.h.  I think autoconf/autoheader is capable of 
this, although I've never done it before.
