devstack supports an EXTRA_OPTS flag in it's localrc that will let you 
set additional values in there. You can set more than one flag by using 
bash arrays, i.e.:

EXTRA_OPTS=(logdir=/var/log/nova auto_assign_floating_ip=True)

If you are using devstack, it's quite worth reading through the script 
as well. It's pretty well documented, and there are lots of gems in 
there like that.
