The "additivity" flag on a category will help in achieving this. Ex:

<category name="com.mycompany.package1" additivity="false">
  |   <priority value="ERROR" />
  |   <appender-ref ref="CONSOLE" />
  | </category>
  | 
  | <category name="com.mycompany.package2">
  |   <priority value="ERROR" />
  | </category>
  | 
  | <root>
  |   <priority value="INFO" />
  |   <appender-ref ref="SMTP" />
  |   <appender-ref ref="CONSOLE" />
  |   <appender-ref ref="FILE" />
  | </root>
  | 

Here com.mycompany.package1 will log only to the CONSOLE because the additivity flag is set to false. That flag can be used to specify that the log messages of a particular category are not to be propagated to the parent categories (the root in this case).
