Is there a way to assign attributes to keywords in LightRoom?

I have assigned the taxonomic classification to a lot of my macros, in the keywords. That way, I can search for "Formicidae" and it shows all of my ant pics. I also have them assigned by structures visible in the pic, which is a great help for my classes. In a similar way, I have assigned a lot of keywords to my portrait pics, like names, locations and stuff like that. The best pics are flagged, and the most awesome pics are rated either 4 or 5 stars.

Now, I would like to make a smart folder for all my animal shots, and one for all my portraits. Is there a way to assign a keyword to a keyword? For instance, I select all the keywords that are my friends' names, and have all of those pics have a "portrait" keyword. That way, I won't have to select every pic of my friends and tag them as "portrait".

Can this be done? Or do I have to go back and add the "portrait" or "animal" keyword in each pic?
