How about this,

#lang racket

(define-signature sig^ (foo bar))

(define generic@
 (unit
   (import)
   (export sig^)
   (define foo "default")
   (define bar "default")))

(define specific@
 (unit
   (import)
   (export sig^)
   (define-values/invoke-unit generic@ (import) (export (except sig^ bar)))
   (define bar 42)))

(define-values/invoke-unit specific@ (import) (export sig^))
(printf "foo = ~a, bar = ~a~n" foo bar)
