Probably something like this:

map $host $username {
some.domain.com usera;
another.one.net userb;
}

server {
root /srv/www/users/$username/wp;
access_log /var/log/nginx/vhosts/$username.access.log;
...
}

Or this (without map):

server {
server_name ~^(?<username>.+)\.domain\.com$;
root /srv/www/users/$username/wp;
...
}
