What I did for Poi is this:

- Branch 1.2 is for Plone 3.  It does not list Plone as its dependency, 
because that would not work well for people using Plone 3.0 or 3.1: 
Plone only became an egg starting with Plone 3.2.

- Trunk (2.0, first alpha release is out) is targeting Plone 4 only.  It 
has 'Plone>=4.0a1' in its install_requires.  This avoids getting Poi 2 
in a Plone 3 site, which would only cause pain.
