You should be able to write your class without modifying Django's code
at all. It would be completely independent.
I'm thinking you would end up with something like this in your code:
class SomeForm(MyModelForm):
fieldsets = [...]
class Meta:
# ...
where MyModelForm is a subclass of forms.ModelForm containing, perhaps,
some code like django.contrib.admin.helpers.InlineAdminForm, or
something similar.

Initially, I would just make it an attribute, say, on a subclass of
ModelForm. Simply to avoid having to mess around with the metaclassing
infrastructure (although that might be unavoidable).
Really, though, the idea is to solve your problem. If you want to roll
up your sleeves and work out the subclassing solution based on
InlineAdminForm, do that. Or you could override
django.forms.forms.BaseForm._html_output() in your subclass to work with
fieldsets for your forms. Or you could do the organisation in your
template.
Depends on how much time you have available to invest in this and your
skill and comfort level. All that being said, a healthy dose of
persistence and stubborness usually manages to get any problem solved
pretty well. You just have to be prepared not to let the code win. ;-)
