By tree-based you mean the ability to define "this directory and
everything under it gets X amount of storage, regardless of owner"?
If so, I also wish this ability existed, and I've talked with several
administrators of ISPs that sorely need that ability as well.  If it
is a monumental undertaking, maybe some hosting providers who use
FreeBSD and would greatly benefit from such a feature would be willing
to fund it.
