 There is a small howto at:

http://www.easy-asic.de/downloads/HOWTO_hierarchical_designs.pdf

 There is a tool to make hier. sheets at:

http://turkos.aspodata.se/git/openhw/pdftosym/pintosym.pl

it will create a sym file and create/update 
a templete sch file for the subsheet.

 An example is available at:

http://turkos.aspodata.se/git/openhw/pdftosym/examples.pintosym/hier.pins

 Use pod2text view its doc:

$ pod2text pintosym.pl
...
    Do some special action:

     source <file_format>

    The file we are creating is a "source"-symbol to be used for
    hierarchical/mult.page schematics. This special will change the normal
    symbol creation process:

    .   the attribute "source=<file_format>" will be included

    .   the file named by <file_format> will be checked and created or
        updated so it contains, for each pin, one net symbol with a
        (invisible) "net=value:1", and a (visible) "refdes=value" attribute,
        where value is equal to resp. pins pinlabel attribute.

    The net symbol to be used is decided by the first "source-map" line
    which <perl_expression> evals to true.

     source-map=<net-sym-name> <alignment> <dx> <dy> <perl_expression>
...
