Nice.  I would be happy to see that.

Every NixOS file, even your configuration.nix is a module, this means
that you don't have to build against a custom version of NixOS unless
you want to modify some of its files.  If you just want to *add* a new
module, I will recommend you to use the "require" or "imports"
attribute in your configuration.nix.

So your /etc/nixos/configuration.nix should look like:

{
  require = [
    lighttpd/default.nix
  ];

…

}

The syntax of module is documented in the wiki[1] for more detail.
