Sometimes you give the impression of wanting a processor designed to your
specifications exactly. However, if all you need is a macro package, life
shouldn't be that tough. If none of the standard tools is adequate, you
ought to be able to have one written to your specs in about a week no matter
what your requirements are, either as a separate preprocessor or as part of
an existing assembler.
A competent grad student won't cost anywhere near $30,000. Neither would a
consultant charging "the usual exorbitant fee". If you really want, it's
out there somewhere, just waiting for you to find it.
