    server-with-environment looks promising.

    server-with-environment is a Lisp macro in `server.el’.

    (server-with-environment ENV VARS &rest BODY)

    Evaluate BODY with environment variables VARS set to those in ENV.
    The environment variables are then restored to their previous values.

    VARS should be a list of strings.
    ENV should be in the same format as `process-environment’.
