I don't think you can do that, though I am not sure what you mean by a config variable defined in metainfo.json. I would define the value in appConfig.json, then refer to it in metainfo.json. The {$conf:@//site/global/port} syntax is specific to the slider agent exec command. This example refers to a "site.global.port" property in the appConfig.json. In export values in the metainfo.json, you can refer to appConfig.json properties with a syntax like ${site.hbase-site.hbase.master.info.port}.
