I periodically threaten to post my multi-instance Apache Ant scripts
to the list. I have recently split my build process into multiple
build scripts including a build-tomcat.xml which will manage that kind
of thing for you. It's still not a perfect separation, but it allows
you to do things like define 'projectname.property=value' in
~/.ant.properties, set <project name="name"> in build.xml, then
duplicate the whole thing over and over again.

So, I have, for instance, "myproject1.tomcat-port" and
"myproject1.tomcat-shutdown-port", etc. and then (near) duplicates for
each project. Each developer on a shared dev server gets a batch of
port numbers assigned for their own uses and then sets those up
accordingly. Each webapp can also have a separate projectX.tomcat-home
and projectX.java-home property, so that simply typing 'ant
tomcat-start' in any project's directory will build an appropriate
CATALINA_BASE (ports and all) for that webapp and then launch the
webapp in that instance.

All of this requires a fair amount of infrastructure to set up (build
scripts, environment-specific server.xml, etc. files, etc.) but once
it's done it makes your life sooooo much easier.

I can share what I've got, but it will likely require you to heavily
modify it to work in your environment since it's so deeply integrated
into our complete build process.
