I didn't reply earlier because I'm not sure about any 3rd party software out there that may do this. One way I can think of doing what you ask would be to save the drawing elements to a file that would be xref'd back into your drawing. This new file would in turn be copied and renamed however many times you need (i.e. how many viewports are we talking about) with some obvious viewport specific names. These files would then be xref'd into the drawing as well. Once referenced, you would manipulate color/linetype/etc. At this point you would open each viewport and freeze the xref's that don't pertain to that viewport. Not a pretty picture. Hopefully someone smarter than me will offer a better suggestion.
