I've been writing bits of XSLT to do just this with a particularly
thorny vocabulary I'm working with.  It does make it easier to cope.
Somehow I suspect that making it more than coping will involve a lot
more than my hand-written XSLT style sheets, but it's a great idea
generally.  

The Just-In-Time-Trees (JITT) folks have done some work with this to
support multiple hierarchies, but that may be more than you're asking
for:
