What about the possibility of creating a new portal object for each
user, then setting the request_varname for each portal_skins object to
something like "sub_portal_skin"?  That way the user could vary the
primary skin and the personal skin independently.

Note that a portal object is, in fact, little more than a "skinnable
portal folder".
