You can always separate configuration stuff in another makefile. I used
that trick before and it works pretty well. Just add something like:

-include config.mak

just after any variable you want to override in the main makefile(s)
(the "-" is important, makes the inclusion optional so make doesn't fail
if the file is not present). Then add config.mak to .gitignore and
anyone can create this config.mak to override options.

For example:
Makefile:
SOME_VAR := x
-include config.mak
x:
	make_x $SOME_VAR

make x will produce make_x x. If you create a config.mak with:
SOME_VAR := y
make x will produce make_x y
