I can give you answers about what is currently in CVS...


- Can the ODA filter tag take a directory as part of the filename?  So can
  I have something like:

no... you can't



   packages/switcher/RPMS/rh7.3/modules-oscar-...rpm
   packages/switcher/RPMS/rh8.0/modules-oscar-...rpm
   packages/switcher/RPMS/rh9.0/modules-oscar-...rpm

- If so, does the copy down to /tftpboot/rpm still happen properly?
  i.e., will only the RPM(s) that I have selected by the filter tag get
  copied to /tftpboot/rpm?

no... it copies everything in packages/*/RPMS/* to /tftpboot/rpm


What's the recommended usage here?

Unfortunately, I've had to deal with this kind of thing already. Perl-Tk and Perl-Qt are dependent on perl versions (which are specific to distro versions). The only way I got around with perl-Qt was to install differently-named RPMs... perl-Qt or perl-Qt-5.6. Perl-Tk was slightly different, since it is a prereq and manually installs its own RPM. In its case, it detects the perl version and copies the right RPM to /tftpboot/rpm (IIRC) and installs from there. They are named the same, but are copied from different directories (see oscar/share/prereqs/perl-Tk/media).
