Dragon has actually given a good response, but to elaborate a bit, at
first blush it would seem you could configure a bunch of Mailman
instances with the same --prefix and each with its own unique
--with-var-prefix.

The big issue is each install requires its own Defaults.py and
mm_cfg.py because these contain both paths and host domain names, and
these modules live in $prefix/Mailman with (most of) the rest of the
code. Changing this would literally require changing "from Mailman
import mm_cfg" in every single module.
