NAnt - A .NET Build Tool

I don't think so. I had a similar problem and had to resort to a custom
script. It's not that difficult though, something along the following
lines would do it:

<snip>
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="example" default="update-file">
 <property name="db.user" value="sa" /> 
 
 <target name="update-file">
  <script language="c#">
  <code><![CDATA[
  public static void ScriptMain(Project project)
  {
   string srcDir = Path.Combine(project.BaseDirectory, "web");
   string outDir = Path.Combine(project.BaseDirectory, "build");
   
   string dbuser = project.Properties["db.user"];   
   
   string srcFile = Path.Combine(srcDir, "web.config");   
   using (StreamReader reader = File.OpenText(srcFile))
   {
    string contents = reader.ReadToEnd();
    contents = contents.Replace("DBUSER", dbuser);
    
    string outFile = Path.Combine(outDir, "web.config");
    using (StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(outFile))
    {
     writer.Write(contents);
    }
   }   
  }
  ]]>
  </code>
  </script>
 </target>
</project>
</snip>

Best wishes,
Rodrigo
