So it seems to me that probably you don't want to eventually merge all
the different domains together, but to have several different related
files.

The way I would probably tackle this is to use apache's configuration
setup so that each domain actually reads multiple files - one for the
common stuff, one for things specific to that domain, perhaps some
others if there are classes of domains that work together.  I can't
recall off hand if there is an Include directive you can use in
.htaccess, but it's probably possible.  Then put the whole suite of
config files into bzr.
