it's possible to do it with m2 beta-1 and profiles.

you declare profile in your pom like this :

   <profiles>
     <profile>
       <id>env-test</id>
       <activation>
         <property>
           <name>env</name>
           <value>test</value>
         </property>
       </activation>
       <properties>
         <appProperties>test.properties</appProperties>
       </properties>
     </profile>
     <profile>
       <id>env-production</id>
       <activation>
         <property>
           <name>env</name>
           <value>production</value>
         </property>
       </activation>
       <properties>
         <appProperties>app.properties</appProperties>
       </properties>
     </profile>
   </profiles>

and you can run mvn with one of profiles like :
mvn -P env-production clean:clean install ==> we use the profile id
or
mvn -Denv=test clean:clean install ==> we use the property env define in
<activation>
