Yeah, what I have done in the past is use @import statements to import
CSS files based upon need.  What I generally do is have a "fonts" CSS
file, a "structure" CSS file, a "media" CSS file, and a "color scheme"
CSS file.  This allows for multiple color schemes, 2 or 3 column
layout for a given page, print, screen, or handheld, and different
font faces/sizes -- definitely a must, especially if you're
co-branding a web site).

The downside to the multiple CSS file apprach is that it can be a real
bear to administer -- adding or deleting a selector in one file means
that you should do the same to the remaining files.  I got to the
point where I had to write a databased CSS administration app in CF
that published CSS files to the server.
