Sorry, but I totally disagree with that. CMFCatalogAware is not the
only place that has references to portal_catalog. There are a couple
other references spread around CMF. Either you come up with a CMF-wide
fix and a proposal, or you make that change somewhere else.

I, for once, would instead make 'getToolByName' hookable so that it
can return a different 'portal_catalog' based on whatever constraints
you need to distinguish which catalog to use, and then ensure
'getToolByName' is used all around where a catalog is needed.

For the records, whatever is the plan for Zope 3-ification of the CMF,
the first place that should be touched is 'getToolByName' IMHO.
