handling heterostructured tarball

Hi,
A tarball of the original software has 2 subdirs in it:
1) subdir1 with a regular perl module with a Makefile.PL
2) subdir2 with related i18n stuff with a GNU Makefile.
How to port this software?
Was only able to invent a solution with two different ports (myport and
myport-i18n) which share the same distribution tarball, but have different
WRKSRC settings:
myport has
WRKSRC= .../subdir1
myport-i18n has
WRKSRC= .../subdir2
But this solution puts extra load on committers, as both ports usually need
be updated simultaneously.
Is there a clever and methodical way to port this software?
Something similar to using SUBDIR construct from bsd.port.subdir.mk ?
Thank you very much ahead of time.
All the best,
Sergei
