The command line frontend currently does not support multiple source
directories. You could write a little shell script visits each
subproject and calls the command line individually for each of them.

I think your best option would be to stop using the commandline and
start using the checkstyle plugin for maven2. After all, easy tool
integration via plugins is one the main selling points of maven,
right?
