I use attractmode in a portable way like you under windows.
And I use the $PROGDIR like I said before.
According to the sources of attractmode, IT'S NOT A LINUX VARIABLE :
https://github.com/mickelson/attract/blob/master/src/fe_util.cpp#L316
Attract mode replace the term $PROGDIR in config files at runtime.
So I repeat what I've said (and what I use and it's work under windows) :
You can use :
$PROGDIR/games/snes [for your example, and attract mode replace $PROGDIR by 'h:\Attract' in your case]
Best regards

Hello Mentat !
Yes you are right the best solution to make Attract Mode portable is to use the variable
$PROGDIR
all caps otherwise it doesn't work
