Doing this bit may be as simple as:

diff --git i/modules/viewvc/files/viewvc/header.ezt w/modules/viewvc/files/viewvc/header.ezt
index 96bd5a2..942983c 100644

 <div class="vc_navheader">
 <table><tr>
 <td><strong>[if-any roots_href]<a href="[roots_href]"><span class="pathdiv">/</span></a>[else]<span class="pathdiv">/</span>[end][if-any nav_path][for nav_path][if-any nav_path.href]<a href="[nav_path.href]">[end][if-index nav_path first][[][nav_path.name]][else][nav_path.name][end][if-any nav_path.href]</a>[end][if-index nav_path last][else]<span class="pathdiv">/</span>[end][end][end]</strong></td>

But I don't have a multi-root viewvc at hand to test against.
