Is it possible to create your own page level help so you could have each
page display different help?

I looked around a bit in the PSML and at the PageManager but didn't find
anything.

Page level help configured in the layout template's portlet.xml, although none of the layout portlet definitions actually configure it, so it defaults to

templates/layout/html/columns/layout-help.vm

Its not really much there, but it is localized

So if you wanted to configure help based on this portlet.xml approach, for all your layout pages (one column, two column etc....) you would need to declare a help view init parameter something like:

    <init-param>
      <name>HelpPage</name>
      <value>myHelpPage</value>
    </init-param>

I don't know of an easy way to get per page help, but I will consider that in the next release as we are getting away from the "one layout per layout variation approach"
