Yes, the include= sounds like it will do exactly what I want.  If I use
include = /usr/local/samba/lib/include.%m then, in my case, the machine is
called opt, if a file called include.opt exists, then it will be read in
place.  If this file includes encrypted passwords = yes then ONLY THAT
MACHINE will use encrypted passwords if I do not included this option in
the main smb.conf file.

Does this sound correct?  I have made these changes, but I have not had a
chance to test it yet...
