You could define virtual hosts in the web server software.

But I normally work in sub directories too and don't have such problems.
I usually install realurl and so have to change the .htaccess file.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /NameOfSubdir/

[here some other stuff, which you find in the .htaccess example or 
realurl docu]

and in Typoscript | setup

config.simulateStaticDocuments = 0
config.baseURL = http://localhost/NameOfSubdir/
config.tx_realurl_enable = 1

Good luck

Erdal
