You can use a cl program on the AS/400 to do rtvcfgsrc and get current
appc-controller values (and save them just in case...) and then change the
mac-address from the one's that you choose. (chgctlappc cmd, ADPTADR
parameter)
How to change the config at the pc's is probably more magic than auto, but
maybe you can write a script/program
that can update the configuration. Another way would be to do a export of
the configuration from a manually configured pc and mail it and import to
the other the pc's.
