What exactly are you hoping to get out of this?  What's suposed to be
the eventual content of the $hasSelectedLetter variable?  Are these
really how the arrays get set up, or is it really more like:

  $booleanNonFormVars = array(
    'hasSelectedLetter' => 'somevalue',
    'hasEnteredProfile' => 'anothervalue',
    ...                                   
  );

?
 
If so, you could take advantage of the fact that this is an interpreted
language, and do something like this:

  foreach ($booleanNonFormVars as $key => $value)  ${$key} = $value;
  foreach ($booleanVars        as $key => $value)  ${$key} = $value;
  foreach ($profileVarArray    as $key => $value)  ${$key} = $value;

etc.

Alternately, if $booleanNonFormVars are things for which you're just
trying to test existence, you could:

  foreach ($booleanNonFormVars as $value)  ${$value} = true;
  foreach ($booleanVars        as $value)  ${$value} = true;

Is either of these approaches what you're after?
