I've only just started using pcl-cvs, but doesn't it just use one buffer?  A
debugging session with gdb can comprise many buffers: stack, locals,
breakpoints etc.  There is only one GUD buffer per session, so maybe variables
could be local to that and some sort of indirection used, but it would be
more complicated.

What might be "fairly" easy to you, I might find a bit more difficult ;-)
