Yes, I have some questions about subpackages myself.  For instance, will
a port be able to depend on the subpackage of another port?  Will the
infrastructure be smart enough to build just that subpackage then or will
it build the full package (and all of its dependencies) and then split up
the stage directory?  If a port has to "smart" then you may want to split
subversion up now because you'll need all that logic for subpackages too.
