I've heard it told that namespace packages are a little tricky, though the main requirement I've seen is just that your __init__.pys are empty.
TG itself uses a very low-tech solution. If you look at fastdata, you'll see that it defines an entry_point in setup.py that shows it as a TG plugin. The plugin file itself, plugin.py, defines tgsymbols which returns a dictionary of names that get loaded into the turbogears namespace. The only reason I set that up like that, though, was to deal with backwards compatibility. I'd probably just start packages off with some prefix rather than trying to do a namespace package sort of thing, in general.
