The idea of it is that the options to configure simply cause it to set some vars. To find the right values for everything, configure parses the command line options, then parses config.site, then applies it's defaults. config.site is just a shell script. So, we can set *anything* in config.site, so long as we know the appropriate var to set. According to the docs, this is usually found by taking the ./configure option, removing the leading '--', and turning all other hyphens into underscores. So, to set the prefix we would have 'prefix=/usr'. Except that that would override anything we've passed directly to ./configure, so we would actually do 'test prefix=NONE && prefix=/usr'. For the others, I think it would be 'enable_final=yes', 'enable_debug=no', and 'enable_dependancy_tracking=no' (with appropriate tests).
