Informally, you can just move different things in .hg/patches.  ie:

.hg/patches.branch1
.hg/patches.branch2

And then rename them into .hg/patches when you want to use them.

Formally, I'd be happy to take a patch that switches between different named 
mq directories.  It would have to hg qpop -a (or switch to a different head 
in the hg repo) before using a different mq directory.
