Couple of solutions here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8082662/how-to-select-different-app-config-for-several-build-configurations

Haven't tried SlowCheetah but seems to work in the same way as the built-in transforms in asp.net for web.config. If it does what it says on the tin I'd go with that.
Next best is using the 'after-build' approach mentioned in the same post. Downside of that is that you need to keep the whole of each alternate app.config up to date which can be a pain to maintain......
