If you did it the other way around:

http://domain.com/joes-blog/2006/09/21/article-title-here/mobile

There is a function in WP 2.1 (not sure about MU) that allows you to add 
new endpoints to URLs that are parsed by the rewrite class.  A couple of 
hooks later, and you could display an alternate template based on the 
presence of the new endpoint ("mobile") in $query_vars.

Look for the function, called add_endpoint().
