I think the work I have started for tip 76 would be useful for you. We create lighter-weight versions of acs-subsite that allow for the features of acs-subsite without necessarily providing any of the subsite pages, so you have control over eg. what admin pages are there.

The overhead for subsite creation is primarily parameters and partly application group. The lightest weight way to do this would be create a single instance of the user-portfolio-subsite package and mount it at multiple nodes.

What you give up doing that is the ability to have "members" per user subsite and the ability to specify per user parameters via package parameters. It would be lower overhead at the expense of flexibility.
