Have you considered at the "fileIsImportant" Scheduler option?  You can
trigger builds based upon your own defined logic using it.  For example,
here's an excerpt of my master.cfg that only triggers a build in the
"CORE" scheduler if certain files are altered in its branch:

    CORE_inclusion = ['qmake', 'Ragnarok', 'Installation', 'SDK']
    CORE_exclusion = ['qmake/Odin']

    def is_CORE_change(change):
        CORE_files = 0

        for name in change.files:
            name_norm = os.path.normpath(name)
            for prefix in CORE_inclusion:
                prefix_norm = os.path.normpath(prefix)
                if name_norm.startswith(prefix_norm):
                    CORE_files += 1
            for prefix in CORE_exclusion:
                prefix_norm = os.path.normpath(prefix)
                if name_norm.startswith(prefix_norm):
                    CORE_files -= 1

        if CORE_files > 0:
            return True

        return False

    ...

    c['schedulers'].append(Scheduler(name="CORE", branch=None,
                                     treeStableTimer=2,
                                     fileIsImportant=is_CORE_change,
                                     builderNames=[ <builders > ]))
