Hi Russ,
You didn't mention platform, but conceptually this windows tutorial may 
help with your solution regardless of your platform. I set up something 
similar to his suggestion, running multiple instance of Plone on the same 
Zope service, so that each instance of Plone can have their own Products 
directory. This was initially done because CMFBoard wouldn't run with 
PloneArticle, but we are finding it nice to have different instances for 
various web site groupings.

Anyway, here is the tutorial: 
http://plone.org/documentation/tutorial/multiple-plone-instances-windows/

Hope it helps, if you have more questions, please let me know.
Eric
