Since I hijacked your thread, here's an idea.

Yes. If you look at the source for vhdl-beautify-buffer you will
see that it is pretty tightly wound. I would write a
wrapper function called vhdl-align-use that would
call beautify then find the first USE, insert three spaces, etc.
Something like:

(defun align-use () "Indent vhdl use clauses"
  (vhdl-beautify-buffer)
  (beginning-of-buffer)
;;code to search for "use" lines and insert three spaces goes here.
