Don't know if there's a "better" way (for whatever definition of "better"), but it seems a pretty good method to me.

To get your example to work, i had to add a comma between the hashref and the export list; and, of course, define dummy versions of your missing %EXPORT_TAGS and frobnicate(). 

use My::Mod qw(:core frobnicate), { hairiness => 2 };

frobnicate( arg1 => 'val1' );   # with hairiness => 2

package My::Mod;

use parent qw(Exporter);
our @EXPORT_OK = qw(frobnicate);
our %EXPORT_TAGS = (core => []);

sub import {
    # or do it via a foreach and extra @args array
    my %setup = map { %$_ } grep { ref $_ eq 'HASH' } @_;
    @_ = grep { ref $_ ne 'HASH' } @_;

    $_[0]->per_package_setup( scalar caller, %setup );
    goto \&Exporter::import;
};

use Data::Dumper;

sub per_package_setup {
    my ($self, $target, %options) = @_;
    # setup for target
    print STDERR "$self->per_package_setup($target, VAR1):\n";
    print STDERR Dumper \%options;
    %self::OPTS = %options;
};

sub frobnicate {
    print map { "frobnicate($_)\n"} @_;
    printf "{ %-20s => %s }\n", $_, $self::OPTS{$_} foreach sort keys 
+%self::OPTS;
}
