If you want everything in one place, you can make use of parent components:

[Types]
Name: custom; Description: "Custom"; Flags: iscustom

[Components]
Name: server; Description: "Server"; Types: custom; Flags: exclusive
Name: client; Description: "Client"; Flags: exclusive
Name: client\feature1; Description: "Feature 1"
Name: client\feature2; Description: "Feature 2"

(Whichever one you put Types: custom on is selected by default.)

You can then condition things on Components: client for all clients, or Components: client\feature1 for only when feature 1 is selected, etc.

There are some other variations depending on whether the client features are mutually exclusive or not.
