I am working on a mechanism right now where I detach and remove the Export domain, add it for a target dc/cluster/host, import the template, deactivate+detach+remove the export domain and repeat for the next host. Is this mechanism the only choice I have? Is there a better way?

you need the template on each DC (until you would be able to mix types 
of storage domains and use a shared NFS for the template for example).
this feature should allow you to import it more than once, but not 
implemented yet:
http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/Features/ImportMoreThanOnce

that hints your current solution will not work, since you cannot import 
the same object today more than once (even to another DC).

since this is local storage, you can hack it a bit and just create a 
template with the disk on all DCs, then dd/rsync the real one to 
override the created disk in all local storage.
