I would like to suggest building all the plugins for mythtv with a single PKGBUILD using splitpkg
This will make the PKGBUILD slightly more complicated, but the advantages are:

-1/10 of the compile time, as you only need to compile it once
-easier to maintain, only one PKGBUILD will have to me altered with each version bump
-smoother deployment, all the new plugins will be immediately available after compilation

Unlike the mythtv package, the build system for mythplugins supports installation of individual components to different ${pkgdir}s after compilation, so there's no need to worry about upstream support.

I have include the build scripts I have been using for the past few weeks.

I also threw in some modified configuration files for mythweb, to follow some archlinux specific filesystem paths.
