Then I suggest you put the backends in a seperate module.

Having multidomain modules with several po directories has always shown
to be a recipe for translator confusion, configure.in breakage, and
general problems with the config toolchain in the past.
Also, from your description, it sounds like you aim to seperate the
backends anyway. Then you might aswell do it in a seperate module that
easily can be independantly maintained and released IMHO.
