Maybe your use case could be solved by using directory-local variables?
Alternatively, maybe the body of that eval block could become a defun
somewhere in your private configuration, and then the eval block would
shrink to a single function call? Maybe you could even always execute
that block for Org mode buffers by adding it to org-mode-hook?
