Then mount-bind them as many times you need. Note that the mounts need to be
done outside the uml servers, since you need to reach the original
directories. 
For example, suppose you have the following structure:
/srv/uml1
/srv/uml2
...
Then, to mount the local home directories to the uml dirs you would do:
mount --bind /home/user /srv/uml1/home/user
mount --bind /home/user /srv/uml2/home/user
...
