You could use `overrideDerivation` and hotfix the configureFlags. Grep for it in nixpkgs/pkgs to see a few example. 

There is an instructive one in pkgs/servers/x11/xorg/overrides.nix

      let  inherit (lib) overrideDerivation; in
      # ...
      darwinOtherX = overrideDerivation xorgserver (oldAttrs: {
        # ...
        configureFlags = oldAttrs.configureFlags ++ [
          "--disable-xquartz"
          "--enable-xorg"
          "--enable-xvfb"
          "--enable-xnest"
          "--enable-kdrive"
        ];
        # ...
      });

Best, Andreas
