I prefer your second solution, with modifications. I like the idea of self-contained reusable applications to simplify deploying dependencies. At work we try to separate projects from sites using this layout:

Starting at /home/work/django

media/
    (common media files and folders)
    (soft links to real media folders)
templates/
    (common templates)
apps/
    blog/
        media/
        templates/
    photogallery/
        media/
        templates/
sites/
    site1/
        config/
            settings.py
            urls.py
            manage.py
    site2/
        config/
            settings.py
            urls.py
            manage.py

site1 vhost config is as follows (using apache 2.0 and mod_python)
<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName site1
    <Location "/">
        SetHandler python-program
        PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython
        SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE config.settings
        PythonPath "['/home/work/django/apps', '/home/work/django/sites/site1'] + sys.path"
    </Location>

    Alias /media "/home/work/django/media"

    <Directory "/home/work/django/media">
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>

    RewriteRule ^/media$ /media/ [R]
    <Location "/media/">
        SetHandler None
    </Location>
</VirtualHost>

site2 vhost config:
(Same as above, changing ServerName and PythonPath)

You don't need to make soft links in apps template folders if you configure properly settings.py:
TEMPLATE_LOADERS = (
    'django.template.loaders.filesystem.load_template_source ',
    'django.template.loaders.app_directories.load_template_source', # :-)
)

This layout works because we use the same server machine for django and static files. Probably in a more optimized environment you will need to copy application media folders to the static content server.

Nos vemos!
