Personally, I'd make Concentration focus on a single entity, rather than a form or magic or a pantheon - basically, it would be the "Devotee"-style restriction - use no magic (from another Otherworld entity) except from your Patron Saint/God/Great Spirit/whatever.

This would allow much more leeway in "mixing" the magic of pantheons. So you worship a God and he worships a Spirit and she worships a Saint - they are all in the same pantheon, you're all friendly towards each other (at least as friendly as any family/clan/tribe is), you share rites and holy days with each other, You band together against "them heathen furriners", etc.

That's what I would do, if I ran the Zoo.
