cygrunsrv --help shows this:

-e, --env <VAR=VALUE>    Optional environment strings which are added
to the environment when service is started. You can add up to 255
environment strings using the `--env' option.

These are added as REG_SZ values in
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\<servicename>\Parameters\Environment
registry subkey.
