It might be nice if I could set different values for different subdomains on my server, but my Web Host Manager program states that it will put a copy of the keys in the .htaccess file. Is the .htaccess file for a domain a secure place to put the keys?

Yes, that's a proper place to initialize server variables, and 
especially if you want different values for different subdomains, as 
you'll have a separate .htaccess file for each subdomain. In *theory* 
nobody has access to the . files except you.

The .htaccess line will look something like

SetEnv name value
