"replace-context" was exactly what I needed.  Thank you, PLTers.

Working code pasted below in case anyone Googles this in the future.

Aside... Once Carl and Robby pointed out what I was missing, my summary 
was a close match for the documentation of "replace-context".  Perhaps 
some grad student wants to see if there's anything that can be done with 
IR and NLP here, for finding library routines or even composing small 
expressions with them.  Use natural language, and possibly the context 
of code in a DrScheme window.  Something that does better than Google 
could, but short of handling "Computer, write me a program that..."


#lang racket/base

(require (for-syntax racket/base
                     syntax/strip-context))
 
(define-syntax (my-macro stx)
  (syntax-case stx ()
    ((_ NAME)
     (let ((my-read-stx (read-syntax "my-sourcename"
                                     (open-input-string "\"hello\""))))
       (quasisyntax/loc stx
         (string-append "Well, "
                        #,(replace-context stx my-read-stx)
                        ", "
                        NAME
                        "!"))))))

(my-macro "yourname")
;;==> "Well, hello, yourname!"
