Once you have a nice little chunk of the model selected, go
into the UVW editor by clicking Edit. Now click the Quick
Planar Map button located in the Map Parameters rollout of
your Unwrap UVW modifier.

The Quick Planar Map feature is awesome, and the ability to
bind this to a shortcut key makes it even more so. I can
quickly select the groups of polygons I want and hit my short-
cut key. Continue this process until you have all of the
separate pieces organized in your Edit UVWs window. It
shouldn't take long if you make the Quick Planar Map feature
a hotkey!
