MOSS publishing sites intrinsically use subsites as a level in hierarchy with one pages library per subsite representing a grouping of pages.
It's tough when you want to work outside of this structure as the SiteMapProviders are built/optimised to run off the above assumption. I like Bill's suggestion - you could add an extra site column to your page layouts and use that for extra grouping within one subsite. Then build all your menus to make use of that page field. You may find that such a solution could cause performance issues as you now need to read the extra field from EVERY page when building the nav - so the sitemap providers do not return all the data which you need to build the menu, as you now need to loop through every page and get the field value from its SPListItem object. But WSS guys who've built custom Nav controls will have experienced these issues as you don't have the same Navigation providers that MOSS does - there's many ways you can implement custom menus.
