Pretty easy

I'm also setting up WLC-5508 right now on my side.

First, the AAA servers are defined per SSID. So you can specify
different radius servers (or simply ports) for each SSID

Secondly, you can now customize the NAS-Identifier on a per SSID basis
(at least in release 7.4)

Finally, the Called-Station-Id will contain the SSID name. If you use
the policy rewrite_called_station_id it will populate the attribute
Called-Station-SSID with the SSID Name.

So all the tools to do it easily are in your hands.
