You could have a variable in the recipe and override that value in local.conf.

Let's say your recipe is called myexample_git.bb in which you add
something like this:
MYSECRETKEY ?= ""

Then this could be assigned from local.conf using something like:
MYSECRETKEY_pn-myexample = "super secret"

Cheers,
