how do I feed a script conf file variables on the command line ?

Ok, let's say I have a shell script named script.sh, and script.sh sucks
in a file /etc/file.conf that contains nothing but variable declarations
like:
SETTING1=setting1
SETTING2=setting2
and so on. Very simple.
My question is, what if I want to feed the script a setting on the command
line ?
Normally I run the script:
script.sh -x -v -e -r
and it looks for /etc/file.conf and sucks in all the variables.
But I want to:
script.sh -x -v -e -r SETTING1='setting1'
for some reason this is not working. I am in the FreeBSD csh shell when I
attempt this (FWIW).
I just want to be able to quickly bypass the conf file, using a single
command line.
Thanks.
