see http://archives.seul.org/geda/dev/Jul-2006/msg00039.html for some 
ideas on buses.  One way I've seen bus pins work is that a pin called 
A<1:5> is just short hand for a collection of pins called A<1> A<2> ... 
A<5> and its in that order.  So externally you just hook up any 5-bit 
bus (which can be FOO<1:5>, BAR<5:1>, or something like 
GND,VDD,BAZ<1:3>).  I use those approaches all the time.
