I believe all discussion on CPU subprofiles has started with "if we had
multiple profile support then". Would the situation be any different if
it were just a case of telling Portage to use
base/default-linux/x86/2008.1 + extras/x86/cpu/pentium4?
that would make it feasible, still not convinced it's the right way to go...
