I think it comes down to the concept of being informed. I believe that issues such as "what does it mean that we have a family of four adults" should be discusssed amongst potential community members *long* before move-in. The main themes I see in alt.polyamory regarding how to manage an n>2 relationship are: Honesty, communication and negotiation. I believe that without these, no healthy community can survive. I believe that these principles can go a long way toward creating tolerance and understanding among many differing points of view, and can (dare I say "should"?) be the foundation of any intentional community. But then again, maybe I'm an optimist.
