Certainly doable, just not done.  Some sort of module support seems
like clearly the right thing to do -- merge_into_dir seems to be not
nearly as useful in practice as we might have liked.

If you're interested in making something like this work, I'd suggest
looking at
  http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.monotone.devel/12022
and also git's 'git-submodule' command for an existing and deployed
implementation of some similar ideas.
