This works just fine:

location /somewhere {
fastcgi_param ENV_NAME "Value for Somewhere";
}
location /else {
fastcgi_param ENV_NAME "Value for somewhere else.";
}

If you are setting something that php doesn't read from its environment, just use ini_set() with $_SERVER or $_ENV. If the value you want isn't PHP_INI_ALL, there might be another way to get it in; too bad php-cgi environment usage seems undocumented in the manual.

I see no reason why this shouldn't work with a server block, too, for virtual host. Try also nginx's max request size parameters for your use case.

N.b., most/all fastcgi settings don't in if () {} blocks. That would be a feature request on my part, particularly to set different timeouts for GET and POST requests.
