Waoh, this is already so old!
I just had a quick look at the proposal and I have a question:
How do you handle the different variables for each subpackage (different pkgname, pkgver, desc, groups, etc)?
Have a look at  FS#7982  with the kdemod example :
http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/7982?getfile=1432
The idea of one subdirectory per subpackage looks interesting though.

About the handling of different configurations, it seems less nice and less useful.

Yes, this is old.... it's one of my first bug reports! And it definitely has issues with pkgname, pkgver, etc, which need to be worked out.

The whole splitting packages in makepkg is something I was going to target for pacman 3.3. I think ideas from all three bug reports about this could be combined.

Ok, no problem :)
By the way, I looked at this because a new patch was submitted in  FS#7982  which looked much simpler than the previous ones, and I haven't really figured out why yet.
