Try (assuming bash)

export QUERY_PORT=12345
/path/to/bf1942

You could also put the port number in another config file:

export QUERY_PORT=`cat /path/to/configfile`

Or just make a config file with the one line:

export QUERY_PORT=12345

and then in the main script put:

. /path/to/configfile

(The "." makes the shell run the argument as if its contents were inline in 
the current file. That's how the stuff in /etc/sysconfig is typically 
loaded by the initscripts in /etc/rc.d/init.d.)
