It's possible to do that with something like

        augtool> ins dir after /files/etc/exports/dir[last()]
        augtool> set /files/etc/exports/dir[last()]/client foo
        
Sticking it into the path expressions with a new() or similar function
would be a little trickier ... I have to think about how you could do
that.
