jewhit and I may have different ideas/goals, not sure.  Nonetheless, Jackrabbit was the path I was going down anyway -- and as of yesterday Jukka released a 1.1-rc1 with a compatible JCA adaptor making this a lot easier.  

As for independent, I guess I always see portal and the repo(jackrabbit) installed together, and it may be nice to have them seperate with a 'combo' install for those that do want them installed from one package. 

One 'Jboss Repo' package for Jackrabbit JCA, JCR support, WebDAV support, and the jboss hibernate wrapper (Shotoku I assume), possibly with their own admin tools (i.e. repo security/access, storage sizing, storage locations on local disk, iSCSI, SAN, etc, backup utilities, more).  From the Provisioning side, I think the seperation of the portal and the repo would help out a lot, as well as add another service layer available to developers related to file-based/non-relationalDB storage.
