Not portable probably, but Skim (a very nice PDF viewer for Mac OS X)
supports notes in an xml file next to the PDF, and something like this
would make sense in a more general setting. Maybe using the same spec to
be compatible?

(Skim can then reexport everything as a single PDF file if needed, but a
nice use-case for what you suggest would be something like personal
org-mode reading notes on an article for which keeping them separate
would make more sense.)
