Thanks to my USB devices I have now enough MIDI ports in my computer to avoid 
this setup, but I had to share ports between several external synths and 
devices some time ago, using the "thru" MIDI socket existing in many devices. 

Furthermore, ALSA MIDI ports are shareable by default. If (when) we have true 
ALSA output ports, that can be subscribed using external utilities, you will 
be able to subscribe RG to several external ALSA MIDI ports. or even to have 
several RG output ports subscribed to any number of other ports, and we 
shouldn't (or couldn't) impose restrictions to this.

Pedro
