Oh, I think I see what you're getting at. Here's a more concrete
example; let me know if this doesn't match what you're talking about:

projectA/trunk
projectA/branch1
projectA/branch2
projectB/trunk
projectB/branch1
projectB/branch2

If you only want to build branch1 from projectA with the builder for
projectA, you could redefine the path split function so that the
"branch" from BuildBot's point of view is really "projectA/branch1".

The main difference, visible to the other developers, is that they
need to include the project name in the path when they force a build.
If that is a problem, then you probably would want to set up another
master instance anyway.
