How about something a little more interactive? On the left hand side
you'd
have your list of container items, and on the right hand side a list
of your
component items. Put them into a select lists, scrolling if
necessary. In
between you'd put a button to add the selected component items on
the right
into the selected container items on the left, and a button to
remove the
selected components from the left. If multiple components are
selected when
the user hits the 'add' button, they all get added, if multiple
containers
are selected when they hit 'add' then the selected component(s) get
added
into each of the containers (multiple into multiple, woot!).
Dynamically
disable the add/remove buttons depending on whether they have selected
appropriate things (including looking for already added items and also
inappropriate items).
This would be a variation on this pattern:

Start the widget off with at least one container item on the left
selected,
let them select multiple on either side, and for the love of dog
please do
some usability testing ;-)
