The problem goes something like this: Pacman assumes that all files are available in a given repo. This means that if you split up dependencies across multiple cds, pacman will assume they're all available in one directory.
My thought is to write a small (or smallish) program that pacman will use as an XferCommand that will let you get around the multiple cd problem.
Anyone up for the challenge?
