I'm not sure I understand why your suggestion is not applicable? Just keep it at the top of your temp projects and make new temporary directories once inside.

Or you could write an alias to do:

    mkdir tmp/project && cd tmp/project
    cp ~/stuff/scratchbox.nix .
    <env-manager-tool> scratchbox.nix
You could even use sym/hard links if you wanted to keep the env file up to date.
