Your solution is one way to solve this problem in SPICE, but a far easier
method would be to use a SPICE simulators that can do behavioral modeling
using lookup tables. Some examples are SPICE 3 B-elements with if-then-else
extensions, or XSPICE extensions (many SPICE vendors offer XSPICE
extensions).

That depends on the SPICE simulator. The syntax for
piecewise-linear transconductance elements differs
from one to another. Time-domain behavior is even
more interesting; basically, you have to take the
four V/T curves and back them through the V/I curves
to get turnon and turnoff profiles for the pullup
and pulldown devices, then make up a subcircuit
that modulates the transconductances to get the
same result.
