You can't (today).
Basically we need to add support for parameters to the targets override
model.  You only immediate option is to use a configuration instead (yep
- it sucks) - but it would not be hard to update the targets reader and
object model to support this.  Basically a target override file is read
in using the XMLTargetsCreator which creates a Targets instance.  The
target is then applied to a containment model as part of the process of
adding a container model to a parent model.

Can you post the stacktrace for this?
