The general approach is to define NUKE_PATH for that project, for the custom nuke environment (like the .nuke folder but on the network). Then you have the custom init.py, menu.py and gizmos etc living there. For example, the most basic way of doing it in .bash_profile on OSX: export NUKE_PATH="path/to/your/project/pipeline/nuke"
If you want to abstract it a bit more, set an abbreviated name alias for the project which you can set up to take you to the working directory and also set the NUKE_PATH for that project with all the customisations. That way, you can easily switch between projects with a new shell and when you launch Nuke you will get the relevant customised version. I've actually never tried to get environment.plist working, but it does seem like a pain and it's easier to repurpose scripting and variables between OSX and Linux (and now Windows 10??) when sticking to using a bash terminal.
