[themes] Is there a better way to do this? (by "this", I mean include javascript commands in the body of a page that change in response to page.tpl.php variables)

Why are these variables site specific? $is_front is created by PHPTemplate,
and I don't have to tell you where $user comes from.

Are you trying to define a "region"? 4.7 has these. Your theme could define
a bunch of different regions and you could test

If ($region1) {}
If ($region2) {}
... Etc

I guess I'm not understanding the problem.
