Gentoo has had this for ages in it's baselayout-1.12.0_pre ebuilds :)
Sample config :-

config_home=( "192.168.0.31/24" )
routes_home=( "default via 192.168.0.1" )
dns_servers_home="192.168.0.1"
dns_domain_home="home"

config_work=( "dhcp" )

That works for wireless configuration via iwconfig or a wpa_supplicant 
callback via wpa_cli triggers.
