Hey Miles,
You could create a directory in /etc like "/etc/othermotd/username_motd" 
and put the line:

cat /etc/othermod/username_motd

in each users .profile where username is the corresponding user of that 
motd.

There may be an easier way to do this but that's just the hacked up 
method I use :).
