I used to do something similar, but for particular server applications where
my import statement might look like:
import:
  solaris_webserver:: $(CFINPUTS)/packages/cf.Apache_1_3_12_Solaris_sparc
  linux_webserver:: $(CFINPUTS)/packages/cf.Apache_1_3_12_Linux_i686
  
By extention you can combine Adrian's and Mark's suggestions:
classes:
  localhostonly = ( IfExists("/path/to/file/${host}") )
  
import:
  localhostonly::
    /path/to/file/${host}

I would agree with Mark, though, even with the "trusted" directories of 2.0,
just arbitrarily running all files in the CFINPUTS directory is probably bad
karma.
