[wp-hackers] RSS Not so good: Revisiting Multiple Blogs on One Site

[kellan]

Its not simple to setup and only works with 1.3+ versions of WP, but
I've addressed this exact issue with my wp-rss-aggregator hack.  I
know a few other folks have gotten it working as well, and made some
tweaks to add categories hierachies, and the like.

Might be what you're looking for, or at least a place to start.
