The SPA942s configure very readily through TFTP. You can utilize DHCP to point to your TFTP server (option 150 I think), and the phones look for a file called spa<mac_address>.cfg.
The TFTP config files are pretty straightforward and easy to configure. I usually just keep a spa-template.cfg and the individual customized lines at the top of the file to make for easy editing. If you're looking to automate the file creation, it's very possible to write a shell script that does most of this automatically, prompting for the information as it creates the file.
