We use this snippet for something similar:

[link-extensions]
recipe = plone.recipe.command
command =
    for i in ${buildout:parts-directory}/instance*; do rm -rf
$i/Extensions; ln -s ${buildout:directory}/Extensions $i/Extensions;
done
update-command = ${link-extensions:command}


I'm sure you can adopt this to linking everything in
${buildout:directory}/config into the various parts/instance*
directories.
